Climate change: Scientists explore ‘injecting ice’ to reduce water vapor and cool Earth

Recent study suggests a climate intervention strategy to decrease water vapor concentrations in the atmosphere to cool Earth and counteract human-caused warmth.

Climate Change from Global Warming are not unknown phenomenon. However, a recent study has said a climate intervention strategy focused on decreasing water vapor (WV) concentrations near the tropopause and in the stratosphere could potentially cool down the rapidly heating up Earth.

State of Play

What began as a theory in the 1890s — that industrial emissions of carbon dioxide could increase global temperatures — had progressed to a scientific fact a century later. Scientists across a range of disciplines are studying the impact of the still-growing concentration of carbon dioxide and other so-called “greenhouse gases” in the atmosphere as they call for industrial and governmental policies to slow, then halt, the warming of the planet.
