CFCs were destroying the ozone layer high in the Earth’s atmosphere, which is essential for protecting life from the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation. How HFCs keep rooms and food cool. But when they break down, they create chlorine that reacts with the protective ozone, letting dangerous radiation through to the Earth’s surface.

Unlike its carbon cousin, sulfur dioxide tends to cool the planet by creating aerosols that reflect sunlight while also making clouds brighter. One study published in 2016 found that instituting the cap on sulfur emissions in 2020 would prevent at least 570,000 premature deaths over the following five years.

In response, NASA began positioning itself as an environmental authority, publicizing its new satellite technology that monitored the oceans, air pollution, and the ozone layer. In the 1980s, NASA’s satellite data and computer modeling helped scientists track ozone depletion and global warming. NASA / Joel Kowsky. NASA / Bill Ingalls.

In 2006, a group of preeminent scientists met for a two-day conference at the NASA Ames Research Center in California to discuss cooling the Earth by injecting particles into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight into space. At some point, one of the conference rooms became overheated. degree Celsius (0.9 degree Fahrenheit) for about a year.

The hardware test was part of a bigger plan to see if strategically releasing aerosols might help cool the planet by reflecting sunlight. According to a TIAA Institute study published in 2016, fewer than one in 10 women faculty are full professors. Working from a disused military airstrip in Norfolk, U.K.,
