Synopsis

Scientists investigate geoengineering solutions to combat global warming. Projects like Stratospheric Aerosol Injections and Marine Cloud Brightening aim to manage solar radiation, while direct air capture (DAC) devices focus on separating and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Researchers assess the feasibility of these technologies and their potential environmental risks. The documentary presents a critical look at how direct intervention in climate systems could alter the trajectory of global warming.
