Technologies to control the climate

For centuries, humans have sought ways to control the weather. Beyond occasional coincidences, the reality is that until very recently exercising control over certain meteorological factors was impossible. The question then is: are there technologies to control the climate?

We go in parts. The climate and the weather are different (the weather has to do with the meteorological conditions of the moment and the climate is over a period). Thus scientists aim first to try to control the weather rather than the climate of a region. This is feasible in some cases, but in others it is impossible. For example, control the wind. Basically this is air in movement and it is generated when the Sun heats one part of the atmosphere differently from another. This causes pressure differences: less pressure where it is hotter. Thus the air tries to move from a high pressure area to a low pressure area, and this movement is the wind. To try to reduce it, it would be necessary to coordinate different actions in distant regions, such as having surfaces that absorb heat, to prevent the atmosphere from heating up … impossible.
