Pacific cloud brightening could weaken El Nino, but models reveal risks for Europe and Asia
A brewing "super" El Nino cycle is poised to unleash heat waves, floods and drought worldwide, with the effects amplified by long-term human-caused climate change.
AI Summary
Researchers have discovered a potential method to weaken the anticipated El Nino cycle by brightening clouds in the Pacific Ocean. This approach involves injecting sea salt into the clouds to increase their reflectivity and reduce the amount of solar radiation they absorb.
