Can we combat climate change by brightening clouds?
Manage episode 414429742 series 3303135
Scientists gathered on the flight deck of a decommissioned aircraft carrier this month to test a technology to assist with cloud brightening.
The idea is basically to make clouds more reflective so they bounce more of the sun’s rays back out to space. Theoretically cooling the earth and combating global warming.
It’s the first time such a test has taken place outdoors in the United States.
