Could We Mitigate Super El Niños by Artificially Changing the Climate? A New Study Indicates Yes (www.smithsonianmag.com)

Manipulating Earth’s weather to fix problems might seem like an idea straight out of science fiction and, indeed, could have unintended consequences.

Nevertheless, the authors of a study published yesterday in Science Advances argue that a particular type of geoengineering called marine cloud brightening should be taken seriously in the face of a recurring climate phenomenon called “El Niño.” The approach would be controversial, but computer models indicate its potential to mitigate El Niño’s destructive effects, according to the study.
