Solar Geoengineering: Science, Spies, and a Climate Cold War

Imagine a world where a single nation could flip a switch and cool down the planet. That’s the idea behind solar geoengineering—spraying chemicals high into the sky to reflect sunlight and cool the Earth. But what happens when countries with competing interests start using it without asking anyone else? Is this just another ‘chemtrail’ conspiracy, or could weather manipulation really trigger global conflicts? From increased flooding in one country to droughts in another, the stakes are high. Join us as we dive into the geopolitical chaos of solar geoengineering, exploring its potential to alter weather, disrupt food supplies, and maybe even spark the next world war.REFERENCES:Symons, J., Fung, C., Jayaram, D., Kabbej, S., & McDonald, M.
