If the Earth is getting warmer, why can’t we simply cool it back down?

In this episode of The Climate Translation, Dr. Mac examines a recent climate modeling study that explored two different approaches to solar geoengineering. While both methods cooled the planet in computer simulations, they produced surprisingly different effects on one of Earth’s most important climate systems: El Niño. From rainfall patterns and jet streams to ocean ecosystems and marine food webs, this episode explores how changing one part of Earth's climate system can ripple through many others.
