The [1]AP is reporting that the Obama Administration is considering
whether to support geoengineering to combat global climate change.
John Holdren told The Associated Press in his first interview since
being confirmed last month that the idea of geoengineering the
climate is being discussed. One such extreme option includes
shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect
the sun's rays. Holdren said such an experimental measure would
only be used as a last resort.
"It's got to be looked at," he said. "We don't have the luxury of
taking any approach off the table."
