Dozens of polar scientists have issued a warning regarding the use of controversial climate engineering approaches to cool the planet, particularly emphasizing the need to protect the Arctic from these potentially dangerous methods. The scientists assert that such techniques are unlikely to effectively combat climate change, underscoring the urgency of implementing alternative strategies to safeguard the vulnerable polar region. Meanwhile, a grim report released by scientists indicates that climate change is accelerating at an alarming pace, with the looming risk of overshooting the 1.5°C target set by the Paris Agreement in just three years. The report also highlights the concerning rate of sea-level rise, posing a significant threat to coastal areas globally.
