Oil from the mile-deep well may be collecting in underwater clouds, potentially endangering a cornucopia of life from thesea floor to the surface, preliminary sampling by university researchers suggests.
Other techniques aim to enhance marine cloud reflectivity by introducing sea salt aerosols in low clouds, mimic the effects of volcanic eruptions by injecting sulphate aerosols into the lower stratosphere, or place shields or deflectors in space to reduce the amount of incoming solar radiation.
