Geoengineering Moratorium Proposed by Scientists to Temporarily Cool Climate

In recent years, scientists have proposed a geoengineering moratorium to temporarily cool the climate. Geoengineering is the deliberate large-scale manipulation of the environment to counteract the effects of climate change. It includes techniques such as cloud seeding, ocean fertilization, and spraying aerosols into the atmosphere. The proposed moratorium would be a temporary ban on geoengineering activities, allowing scientists to study the potential risks and benefits of these techniques before they are implemented. The goal of the moratorium is to ensure that any geoengineering activities are conducted responsibly and with full
