Earth warming hits 6,500-year high: Could scientists have a ‘cooling solution’?

An ongoing heat wave serves as a stark reminder of the rising temperatures impacting our oceans. In response, researchers recommend injecting sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere as a cooling strategy that could lessen both the intensity and duration of ocean heat waves. However, this approach does not mitigate ocean acidification, emphasizing the continued need for emissions reduction and carbon sequestration efforts.
