2 h. ago Mirrors in space and underwater curtains: can technology buy us enough time to save the Arctic ice caps?

A conference in Cambridge this week will explore a raft of geoengineering ideas to cool the region down – and attempt to address the fears of those who argue the risks outweigh the benefitsWhen the glaciologist John Moore began studying the Arctic in the 1980s there was an abundance of suitable sites for him to carry out his climate research.
