In an innovative and controversial approach to combat global warming, scientists conducted the nation's first outdoor test on Tuesday aimed at cooling the planet by increasing cloud cover. This experiment, launched from the deck of a decommissioned aircraft carrier in the San Francisco Bay, involves shooting trillions of aerosol particles into the sky. The project, which has been kept under wraps to avoid public backlash, is part of a broader effort to find effective solutions to climate change. In parallel, Climeworks, recognized as the No. 20 Most Innovative Company, is advancing technology to pull CO2 from the air and store it underground permanently. Additionally, researchers are exploring the use of ultrafine rock particles, known as 'rock flour', a byproduct of melting glaciers, for its potential to capture climate-warming carbon from the air.
