Global warming, more madness: cover the sun with moon dust
A team of experts proposes to “shoot” lunar dust directly from its surface, and launch it into a stable orbit to block some of the sunlight.

The effects of La Niña are no longer sufficient to counter global warming. We have two terrifying years ahead.
Some advanced mathematical models show us the steps necessary to avoid the catastrophe of global warming.
The worst prospects illustrated by world climatologists have already been overcome. Global warming will exceed all the thresholds, and ahead of schedule.
Half the Sahara desert and a bit of Australia with panels that reject heat? Extreme idea. But radiative cooling is theoretically possible.
In 2010, scientists observed that pollution would cause global warming of 1,3°C. Today's data is just a consequence.
Always protagonists in the argumentative repertoire of curious people, independent analysers, scholars, conspiracy theorists and free thinkers, the famous "Chemtrails" could emerge from the literature of counter-information to become part of tangible reality. No longer a borderline theme, therefore, but a conscious human activity. What is it about? The scientific journal PNAS (relaunched instantly by the more widespread Popular Mechanics) published joint studies by American, Scandinavian and Chinese scientists based on scenarios that effectively constitute speculation on the opportunity to do ...

A 90 GWh underground plant is being built in Finland that will store thermal energy: heating a city for an entire year.
UCLA team develops thermal transistor capable of controlling heat flow at the molecular level, revolutionizing thermal management in modern electronics
The first detailed investigation into the impact of passive solar reveals surprising results: it's time to open the skylights!
Human activity is a direct cause of global warming but does not explain everything, especially in the Arctic. And a new hypothesis could prove it.
UN climate chief warns: without immediate action to tackle global warming, the world will pass the point of no return by 2025.
Reflect the sun's rays to fight global warming? It's not that simple, warns MIT. Here are the risks we run.
Global warming advances at a charge: 1000 more lakes in the Swiss Alps indicate that 2 thirds of the glaciers will disappear.
The surge in air conditioning threatens our electricity grids. Air conditioners will increase global warming, unless…
The study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters gives us no escape. If this tundra melts, it will release gases from millions of sources of methane and other carbon emissions into the atmosphere, further accelerating global warming.
The potential solution to global warming revolves around solar geoengineering: chemical clouds to cool the planet.
A team from the University of Queensland has developed a revolutionary nanogenerator that absorbs CO2 to produce electricity, demonstrating how we can turn it from a problem into a resource.
Climate engineering could become the last resort for nations affected by climate change. But at what cost to the planet?
The University of Notre Dame created a window covering that blocks heat but not light. Goodbye air conditioners and high bills?
Reducing emissions from a few dozen companies is easier than convincing 8 billion people. But without cuts to fossil fuels and more renewables, objectives are at risk.
