A popular climate fix could accidentally trigger massive changes to global weather
A new study found that not all geoengineering ideas are created equal. Brightening marine clouds over the eastern Pacific could dramatically weaken the El Niño cycle, triggering major changes to global weather patterns, while stratospheric aerosol injection left the system largel
'Major' damage as super typhoon hits US islands
