Plans to cool the Earth by blocking sunlight are gaining momentum, but critical voices risk being excluded
Thanks ; Albert Van Wijngaarden, Adrian Hindes, Chloe Colomer Published ; Oct31 The 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines blocked so much sunlight the world temporarily cooled by a few tenths of a degree. Solar geoengineering works on a similar principle. Credit: Dave Harlow / USGS Solar geoengineering research is advancing fast, after a recent flurry of funding announcements. Yet…

Everyone loves rooftop solar panels. But there’s a problem.
Thanks ; Shannon Osaka Published ; Oct,22 Everyone loves rooftop solar panels. But there’s a problem.© John Brecher for The Washington Post Over the past decade, millions of solar panels have been installed on homes from California to Massachusetts. These solar panels allow their owners to cut down on their bills, pull electricity directly from their rooftops, and sometimes even store it…

Microplastic Map Reveals Countries Consuming the Most
Thanks ; Pandora Dewan Published ; Sep,12 A map shows the dietary microplastic intake ranking of 109 countries around the world. Scientists have revealed which countries have the highest consumption of microplastics through our food and through the air. So how does the U.S. compare? Microplastics refer to any plastics smaller than 5 millimeters long. They can be found in industrial waste…
