NASA scientists have revealed an ambitious strategy to combat climate change – by seeding the atmosphere with ice.
The method would involve sending high-altitude planes that fly 58,000 feet above the surface, more than 20,000 feet higher than commercial planes, and spraying ice particles into the upper atmosphere.
According to the proposal, this would freeze water remove water vapor before it turns into greenhouse gas emissions, which traps heat from escaping into space – ultimately increasing temperatures on Earth.
