Recent research suggests that injecting solid particles into the atmosphere may significantly mitigate stratospheric warming, ...

Scientists are interested in depositing diamond dust into the atmosphere in order to reflect sunlight and cool down the planet. Though using diamond could be more effective and safer than using ...

This additional heat is thought to contribute to the reduction of sea ice and snow cover, as well as changes in precipitation ...

And the most effective result was a bit surprising: diamonds. Well, diamond dust, specifically. The team ran the compounds through a climate simulation and monitored their atmospheric effects for ...

A multi-institutional team of climatologists, meteorologists and Earth scientists has found evidence that dropping diamond ...

Now, a new study suggests using $200 trillion worth of diamond dust to create an umbrella over ... and possibly produce more catastrophic weather changes in the lower atmosphere.

It could also harm the ozone layer and would likely disrupt weather patterns in the lower ... It showed that diamond dust would be the best option—the particles would reflect the most light ...

In brief: ETH researchers have shown that diamond dust in the upper atmosphere could be particularly good at reflecting solar radiation and thus cooling the climate. The technology is not a ...

Additionally, depending on the aerosol, these solutions can also disrupt weather and climate patterns even more. To determine just how effective diamond dust might be as a global warming solution ...

However, using diamonds comes with a hefty price. The researchers estimated that cooling the Earth by about 1.6°C over 45 years would require five million tonnes of synthetic diamond dust to be ...

A new study proposes to spray millions of tonnes of diamond dust in the Earth's upper atmosphere ... causing significant changes to global weather patterns. With time, the planet will continue ...
