How solar geo-engineering could cool the Earth. Aircraft could release tiny reflective particles (aerosols) into the stratosphere, bouncing sunlight back to space. And ships could spray sea salt into low clouds to enhance their brightness and also reflect sunlight back into spacePlans to block sunlight to fight global warming have inadvertently shone a light on Aria, the Government’s opaque research arm.
