Scientists found that solar geoengineering alone would have a limited impact on delaying the melting of ice in Antarctica.

Basically, the finding is that there's no easy way out of the climate change hell hole we dug ourselves into as a species, and that rapid decarbonization is still the best path to preventing the worst impacts of global warming.The research team used computer modeling to analyze the effectiveness of solar geoengineering, which they term "solar radiation management" in their paper, on the melt rate of the West Antarctic ice sheet under different climate scenarios.
In a situation where there's no effort to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, scientists concluded that spraying sun-dimming particles into the atmosphere in the middle of this century would only delay the disappearance of the ice sheet in West Antarctic. If the world does reduce greenhouse gas in a "medium emissions scenario," though, solar geoengineering would "delay or even prevent" the ice sheet from melting.

Brunt Ice Shelf in Antarctica Speeds Up After Calving of Giant IcebergFollowing the calving of the A-81 iceberg at the end of January 2023, the Brunt Ice Shelf in Antarctica is moving faster than before. It is currently moving approximately 4 meters (13 feet) a day towards the sea, whereas before the calving it moved at an average of between 1-2.5 meters (3-8 feet) a

Scientists invent a bright way to upcycle plastics into liquids that can store hydrogen energyScientists have created a process that can upcycle most plastics into chemicals useful for energy storage, using light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and a commercially available catalyst, all at room temperature. The new process is very energy-efficient and can be easily powered by renewable energy in the future, unlike other heat-driven recycling processes like pyrolysis. Currently, only nine per cent of plastics globally are recycled and the rest are typically discarded in landfills or incinerated.

Some U.S. institutions are undemocratic, political scientists argue in new bookRights for minority parties are a staple of American legislative politics. Daniel Ziblatt, co-author of the new book 'Tyranny of the Minority,' joins 'America Decides' to discuss how centuries-old U.S. institutions to protect those minority rights are possibly making the nation less democratic.
