Diamond dust could play a role in climate control efforts, study suggests
Recent studies suggest that injecting solid particles into the atmosphere may significantly mitigate stratospheric warming. The studyâs findings also underscore the uncertainties surrounding the feasibility of maintaining low concentrations of solid particles in the stratosphere without experiencing clumping.
