A radical plan to address climate change by modifying the atmosphere
Climate change occurs because greenhouse gases trap the sun's energy in our atmosphere, causing that energy to warm the planet. A radical and controversial plan that would artificially modify the Earth's atmosphere to cool the planet is starting to gain traction Solar geoengineering seeks to reflect a small fraction of sunlight back into space, or increase the amount of solar radiation that escapes back into space, to cool the planet. In contrast to carbon geoengineering, solar geoengineering does not address the root cause of climate change. It instead aims to break the link from concentrations to temperatures, thereby reducing some climate damages.

Digital number plates
With everything going digital, it was only a matter of time before number plates and vehicle registration also became digitised. While the digitisation of number plates may not happen tomorrow, there are several countries in the world already exploring the possibility including the UK and UAE. Once the program rolls out, drivers can expect real-time traffic updates from their smart number plate as well as information about the changing conditions on the road. These plates will also be able to warn you if there is an accident on the road, allowing you to easily avoid unnecessary delays. In addition they will have a feature that allows you to communicate with other drivers on the road in real-time, which if for nothing else, may eliminate the many instances of road rage. But perhaps their most important feature is the ability to contact emergency services in real-time.
