Solar geoengineering could halve the economic cost of climate change, but stopping it would cause temperatures to rebound sharply, leading to greater damage than unabated global warming ...

When Voyager 1 finally crossed the “termination shock” at the edge of interstellar space in December 2004, space physicists anticipated the long-sought discovery of the source of anomalous cosmic rays ...

Reducing air pollution has paradoxically accelerated global warming by removing sunlight-reflecting particles, a phenomenon akin to a mild “termination shock.” Large-scale geoengineering schemes, such ...

Solar geoengineering, or “solar radiation management” (SRM), is perhaps the most controversial of the different ways of limiting human-caused climate change. A commonly voiced objection to the ...

At the beginning of the edge of the solar system, the supersonic flow of energetic particles from the sun -- the solar wind -- abruptly slows in a boundary zone called the "termination shock." ...

Unprecedented marine heat waves in the North Atlantic have been driven in part by a recent drop in shipping emissions, leading to a reduction in highly reflective marine clouds that had previously ...
