Climate engineering could slow Antarctic ice loss, study shows
“Even if the world meets the ambitious target of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels—which we are not on track to do—we are going to see significant sea-level rise,” said Paul Goddard, an assistant research scientist in the College's Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences and the lead author of the study. “Exploring ways to reflect sunlight into space before it is absorbed into Earth’s climate system could help buy us more time to address climate change and avoid or delay climate tipping points, such as collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.”
