Royal Society to research potential of geo-engineering to limit global warming

The Royal Society has announced plans to study which geo-engineering techniques might best to face the climate change, by means a feasibility study and of this form, play a practical role facing the worst impacts of climate change.
Geo-engineering includes aspects like to reflect sunlight placing mirrors in space or sowing the ocean with algae that can absorb carbon dioxide of our atmosphere.
In the introduction of Philosophical Transactions, the diary of the Royal Society, academics of the University of Manchester and Cambridge wrote: "This interventions may be risky, but less risky than doing nothing. This measures will give to our planet a safe equilibrium."
The working group's report is expected to be published next year.
