Q65.
In the context of which of the following do some scientists suggest the used of cirrus cloud thinning technique and the injection of sulphate aerosol into stratosphere?
A. Creating the artificial rains in some regions
B. Reducing the frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones
C. Reducing the adverse effects of solar wind on the Earth
D. Reducing the global warming
Answer

D

Explanation

• The geo-engineering technique known as stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) could limit rising temperatures that are causing climate change. • Cloud thinning strategy would be used to shoot powder over cirrus clouds, which would thin out their coverage and alter their radiative effects over Earth.
