Last year, a private company proposed "fertilizing" parts of the
ocean with iron, in hopes of encouraging carbon-absorbing blooms of
plankton. Meanwhile, researchers elsewhere are talking about
injecting chemicals into the atmosphere, launching sun-reflecting

to reset the thermostat of a warming planet.
