One company has a simple-sounding plan to help save the planet: take a food additive and the mineral that makes eggshells hard, produce tiny particles out of them, spray them into the atmosphere and cool the world.

This company says it can help cool the planet for $10 billion a year; scientists are raising red flags

Stardust Solutions is developing a particle to spray into the atmosphere and dim the sun. Scientists are worried the technology could have huge global consequences.

The Company That’s Raised $60 Million to Geoengineer the Planet

Rob sits down for a conversation with Stardust Solutions CEO Yanai Yedvab.

Why blocking the sun to cool the planet is bound to go wrong

Reflecting the sun with tiny particles sprayed from airplanes could reduce global temperatures, but would need to be maintained for decades, perhaps centuries, and the margin of error is essentially zero.
