Answer to Question 1

Geoengineering involves modifying the natural processes of the Earth to help us deal with issues related to global climate change. We can sequester carbon dioxide, thus preventing it from entering the atmosphere. We can also prevent solar radiation from reaching the Earth by using molecules like sulfate particles to deflect the Sun.

Answer to Question 2

See Table 18-5 for a summary of the adaptation strategies available. Examples include those that related to agriculture, structural concerns, emergency preparedness, reducing risks, promoting development, controlling diseases, and enhancing economic progress.
