*Geoengineering May Be the Answer to Climate Change*
Dec 14, 2019
VICE News
Greenhouse gas emissions are pouring out at unprecedented levels, and 
the numbers are still rising. But with climate skeptics (and their 
allies in industry and government) thwarting conservationists' efforts, 
some scientists are working to develop a back-up plan: using technology 
to "geoengineer" the Earth's atmosphere and reduce the impacts of 
climate change.

But geoengineering is seen by some as a distraction from the real 
challenge of climate change in much of the scientific community. Critics 
say it's a solution that diverts attention away from the real challenge, 
which is finding a way for the world to drastically reduce the amount of 
man-made carbon that its pumping into the atmosphere.

Shane Smith and Ben Anderson took an in-depth look at how this 
technology would work -- and how effective this radical (and potentially 
dangerous) plan could be.

[full spectrum aspirations]
*Ohio State Chemists collect energy from the entire visible spectrum of 
sunlight*
BY EDITORIAL TEAM ON JANUARY 21, 2020
Scientists for the first time have developed a single molecule that can 
absorb sunlight efficiently and also act as a catalyst to transform 
solar energy into hydrogen, a clean alternative to fuel for things like 
gas-powered vehicles.

This new molecule collects energy from the entire visible spectrum, and 
can harness more than 50% more solar energy than current solar cells 
can. The finding could help humans transition away from fossil fuels and 
toward energy sources that do not contribute to climate change.

The researchers outlined their findings in a study published today in 
Nature Chemistry. The research team was led by Claudia Turro, a 
chemistry professor and director of The Ohio State University Center for 
Chemical and Biophysical Dynamics...

*On this day in the history of global warming - January 23, 2007 *
After six years, President George W. Bush finally addresses global 
climate change in his State of the Union address.
