Daily
Mail: A group of scientists in the UK has proposed planting
crops that reflect sunlight as one method to counter global
warming. "Our current studies on crop reflectivity are at an
early stage, but our initial results are really encouraging, as
they suggest that simply by choosing to plant specific strains
of crops, we could alter the reflectivity of vast tracts of
land and significantly reduce regional temperatures," said lead
researcher Joy Singarayer from the University of Bristol. The
findings were discussed at the Royal Society discussion meeting
Geoengineeringâmdash;Taking
Control of Our Planet's Climate, which took place
8â9 November.
