Sun Dimming to Fight El Niño | Tech News

This year’s El Niño is unleashing extreme weather worldwide—droughts, floods, and fiercer cyclones—compounded by human-caused warming, risking trillions in damage. But scientists are exploring a radical fix: dimming the sun by spraying seawater into clouds to boost reflection. Inspired by smoke from Australia’s 2019-20 bushfires, which may have triggered a rare La Niña, the idea is to target El Niño events regionally, not the whole planet. While promising, it’s fraught with political and scientific risks—could be a last-resort gamble if we can’t curb fossil fuels.
