Solar geoengineering
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Solar radiation modification.
Solar radiation modification (SRM), also called solar geoengineering, is a group of large-scale approaches to reduce global warming by increasing the amount of sunlight that is reflected away from Earth and back to outer space. It is not intended to replace efforts to reducegreenhouse gas emissions, but rather to complement them as a potential way to limit global warming. SRM is a form of geoengineering.
