      ab: The article discusses the efforts of scientists to manage the world's climate using science and technology. The article presents the arguments of scientists like physicist Lowell Wood, who proposes shooting highly reflective sulfate aerosols into the Arctic stratosphere to deflect the sun's rays. The author argues that these scientists have not considered the unintended consequences of such schemes and details several historic accounts of scientists employing military means to control climate.
