Climate modification refers to deliberate human interventions in the Earth's climate system to counteract or mitigate the effects of climate change. These interventions can be categorized into two main types: climate engineering and climate adaptation. Climate engineering, also known as geoengineering, involves large-scale technological interventions to alter the Earth's climate. This can include methods such as solar radiation management, which aims to reduce the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface, or carbon dioxide removal, which seeks to reduce the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These methods are often seen as a last resort, as they carry significant risks and uncertainties.
Climate adaptation, on the other hand, focuses on adjusting human activities and infrastructure to minimize the
Both climate modification and climate adaptation are crucial components of a comprehensive strategy to address climate
The field of climate modification is still in its early stages, with ongoing research and debate surrounding
