Along with drastic reductions in carbon dioxide emissions, a team of climate scientists says internationally coordinated research and field-testing on geoengineering the planet's atmosphere need to begin immediately in order to limit risk of climate change. In a new Nature editorial, the team argues that collaborative and government-supported studies on solar-radiation management, a form of geoengineering, would reduce the risk of nations' unilateral experiments and help identify technologies with the least risk. read more
