Supercomputer Will Help Decide whether to Block the Sun
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/supercomputer-will-help-decide-whether-to-block-the-sun/
A new supercomputer named Derecho will allow scientists to run more detailed models to study the effects of solar geoengineering, a controversial idea for cooling the planet by redirecting the sun's rays. The machine will be used to assess the risks tied to geoengineering, including the potential impact on rainfall patterns and entire ecosystems. The announcement from the National Center for Atmospheric Research comes after the Biden administration released a report offering measured support for researching solar geoengineering as a way to slow the rise of global temperatures.
