...turn down the thermostat would be to spread sulfur particles into the atmosphere, either through artillery or with airplanes, thickening the air enough so that it would bounce some sunlight back. We know that process does reduce global temperatures: when Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines erupted in 1991, it threw millions of tons of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, causing global temperatures over the following months to drop by nearly 1°F. Geoengineering would work much the same way - only it would need to be done continuously, to keep up with the intensifying greenhouse effect...
TAIPEI, Taiwan – Clouds drift up one side of Mt. Cising before they slide down the other. But first the mist hovers, encircling the peak. Nothing is visible except the very top, where hikers are stretching out on stone platforms, snapping photos with the elevation marker, sharing apple slices.

...history of sailing, fewer people have circumnavigated the globe on solo voyages - less than 250 in all - than have attempted to summit Mt. Everest this year.

...adventuring pretty high at a very young age. Have you given much thought to what comes next? Not enough to say exactly what I'm going to do yet. I did look into Mt. Everest a little bit, and I'm looking into sailing down to the Arctic. I might see if I can get a TV series or something going on that. I hope to make a career out of adventuring. I love doing it, and if I can make it pay for itself, I'd be super happy...
