Kimberly Prather, an atmospheric chemist at UC San Diego, is one of 20 scientists being honored by the National Academy of Sciences for extraordinary achievements, it was announced Monday.

The White House is orchestrating a five-year-plan on how to counter climate change that will explore how spraying aerosols into the stratosphere can lower temperatures.

Fossil fuels are rapidly heating the planet, but their aerosols also help cool it. Just how much, though, is a major uncertainty in climate science.
