In the context of which of the following do some scientists suggest the use of cirrus cloud thinning technique and the injection of sulphate aerosol into the stratosphere?

Question

YESPYQ · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: Reducing the global warming. There is a renewed interest in two dominant methods of geoengineering such as stratospheric sulphate aerosol in- crease and cirrus cloud thinning aims to reduce global warming effects. Geoengineering, often known as climate intervention, is the de- liberate and extensive modification of the Earth’s climatic system with the intention of reducing global warming.  The stratosphere can be injected with sulphate aerosol particles to block some of the sun’s rays and possibly cool the planet. Sulphur droplets are good at scattering the sun’s light back out into space and it does not heat the stratosphere as much as other aerosols. 102
