Brussels is assessing the viability of massive ‘geoengineering’ interventions, according to the agency

The European Union is joining an international scheme to investigate whether major interventions in the Earth’s natural processes, including deflecting some of the Sun’s rays, can help mitigate climate change, Bloomberg reported on Monday.
The agency cited a draft document that might be made public later this week, aimed at assessing the consequences of global warming on water and food scarcity, and the risks of them triggering new conflicts or mass migration waves.
The paper will also feature plans to study atmospheric re-engineering technologies and the dangers associated with them.
Such projects could range from reflecting a certain percentage of sunlight back into space to altering weather patterns, Bloomberg noted. The EU is seeking international discussions on the schemes and the potential to set down rules for this field.
