Geoengineering technique could cool planet using existing aircraft
Geoengineering technique could cool planet using existing aircraft
A technique to cool the planet, in which particles are added to the atmosphere to reflect sunlight, would not require developing special aircraft but could be achieved using existing large planes, according to a new modelling study led by UCL researchers. Previously, most research has assumed that the technique, known as stratospheric aerosol injection, would be deployed in the tropics and so would require specially designed aircraft capable of flying at altitudes of 20km or more to inject the particles.

Everything Flows: Refining the Laws of Friction in Caltech’s ’Seismological Wind Tunnel’
Imagine a heavy book resting on a table. If you try to gently push the book across the table with the tip of your finger, it may first appear to remain motionless-it needs a lot more force to start sliding visibly. Similarly, if you slowly start tilting the table upward, the book still appears to remain motionless, sticking to the table through friction until the table's tilt reaches some critical angle and the book suddenly slides down.
