Other methods include launching giant mirrors into space to reflect back sunlight. There are also ongoing experiments in creating clouds by spraying sea water in the air and storing carbon dioxide underground.What we are facing:Plight 困境Bad carbon scenario 令人忧心的碳排放状况A climate debt 亏欠地球、亏欠大自然的重债Ship hazards 漂浮的冰山造成的威胁What all these mean to us:A wake-up call 警钟已经响起,环保迫在眉睫
