Basically   In layman's terms this means placing a layer of a dusty type material similar to what erupts from volcanoes, high up in the sky.  Why?  Observations after large volcanic eruptions suggest they have an overall cooling effect upon the Earth's climate.   Types of Geoengineering  Solar Radiation Management (SRM) is a specific type of geoengineering which involves reflecting sunlight back into space in order to reduce the amount of solar energy absorbed by the Earth. One of the most frequently discussed methods is the use of Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI).  The concept underlying SAI is to inject tiny particles into the stratosphere to scatter a portion of the incoming sunlight, thereby cooling the Earth's surface.  This approach has been inspired by the cooling effect...

However too much tablet time can interfere with a child's physical well-being & social development. So in an i...
