What Happened
A recent study has put forth a proposal for using marine cloud brightening as a method to mitigate the impacts of El Niño. The technique involves dimming the sun to potentially weaken the effects of these climate phenomena.
Marine cloud brightening is a form of geoengineering that could be employed to address the challenges posed by El Niño years. The study suggests that by altering the reflectivity of clouds, it might be possible to reduce the intensity of El Niño events.
