Solar Geoengineering: Should we artificially cool the planet?

Could it become the last option to stop global warming or is it an insane intervention? Some scientist are working on how we could deflect solar radiation to slow down global warming. Here are three mind blowing ideas how this might work. We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess. ► Check out our channel trailer:    • Planet A | The only one   ► Want to see more?
