Abstract

The article discusses the possibility of reengineering the atmosphere of the Earth to combat global warming. The effect of sulfur dioxide from the volcanic eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991 on the Earth's temperature is described. Details are provided about geo-engineering research conducted by scientists. Possibilities for reengineering the Earth's atmosphere include using sulfur dioxide to reflect the Sun's heat and implementing the concept known as carbon capture and storage (CCS).
