Experiments to dim the sun given green light

Research into whether the sun could be dimmed to combat global warming will be given the go-ahead by the government within weeks and £50 million is expected to be spent on experiments and analysis.

The geo-engineering techniques that will be explored include spraying aerosolised particles high into the stratosphere to deflect a small fraction of the sun’s energy away from the Earth.
