Geoengineering-

 Geoengineering, the large-scale manipulation of a selected process central to controlling Earth’s climate for the aim of obtaining a selected benefit. Global climate is controlled by the quantity of radiation received by Earth and also by the fate of this energy within the world system—that is, what proportion is absorbed by Earth’s surface and the way much is reflected or reradiated back to space. The reflectance of radiation is controlled by several mechanisms, including Earth’s surface albedo and cloud coverage and therefore the presence within the atmosphere of greenhouse gases like CO2 (CO2). If geoengineering proposals are to influence global climate in any meaningful way, they need to intentionally alter the relative influence of 1 of those controlling mechanisms.Geoengineering proposals were first developed within the middle of the 20th century. counting on technologies developed during war II, such proposals were designed to change weather systems so as to get more favourable climate conditions on a regional scale. One among the best-known techniques is cloud seeding, a process that attempts to bring rain to parched farmland by dispersing particles of iodide or solid CO2 into rain-bearing clouds. Cloud seeding has also been utilized in attempts to weaken tropical storms. Additionally, the U.S. military suggested that nuclear weapons could be used as tools to change regional climates and make sure areas of the planet more favourable for human habitation. This proposal, however, wasn't tested.
