Glacial engineering could limit sea-level rise, if we get our emissions under control
Targeted engineering projects to hold off glacier melting could slow down ice-sheet collapse and limit sea-level rise, according to a new study.

But the researchers caution that reducing emissions still remains key to stopping climate change and its dramatic effects.
