ALBAWABA – NASA has unveiled an ambitious plan to combat climate change by cooling the upper atmosphere through the spraying of ice particles.

The plan involves sending aircraft to high altitudes (approximately 6 km higher than commercial planes) to spray ice particles into the upper atmosphere.

This strategy aims to freeze water and eliminate vapor before it transforms into greenhouse gases that trap heat and prevent it from escaping into space, leading to increased temperatures on Earth. This process is known as “geoengineering” and is often met with opposition due to potential side effects, according to the British newspaper “Daily Mail.”

The process, targeting the cold western Pacific region, involves transporting ice particles directly into the lower stratosphere, where the air slowly rises, carrying water vapor with it.

The team believes that releasing tons of ice particles every week could remove a sufficient amount of water to reduce warming by a small amount.
