capital, khartoum. after returning to djibouti, the americans were then flown to the u.s. military base in ramstein, germany. u.s. secretary of state antony blinken monitored the evacuation in washington. cbs's imtiaz tyab is tracking developments in london and leads us off. imtiaz. >> reporter: meg, good evening. the evacuation of u.s. embassy staff and their families has only intensified concern for the estimated 16,000 americans who still remain trapped in sudan as the fighting there becomes even deadlier. heavily armed fighters from the feared rapid support force paramilitary group race towards khartoum as the battle for the capital city, now in its second week, shows no sign of ending. despite intense international pressure for a cease-fire, the rsf's leader remains locked in a bitter power struggle with his

rival, sudan's top military chief. at least 400 people have been killed and thousands more wounded in the fighting. the fear now is africa's third largest country is falling into civil war, a war that could trigger a humanitarian catastrophe on a scale not seen in decades. sudan has large oil and gold deposits, a strategically located port, and neighbors east africa's most powerful nations, but has been politically unstable following the 2019 pro-democracy protests that led to the toppling of military dictator omar al bashir. both generals served under bashir and seized power in a 2021 military coup with promises of leading sudan towards democratic civilian rule, but have instead turned their vast armies against each other with millions caught in the crossfire. other countries, including france, have also stepped up efforts to evacuate its citizens. >> imtiaz tyab, thank you. tonight, president biden

>> i have a task force established at headquarters to martial all of these efforts so that we're really digging in on all of this. we're authorizing overtime. >> reporter: this family paid extra for expedited renewal, but more than a month later, they're getting worried. >> if you're planning a trip, definitely check your passports. >> reporter: that expedited service costs $60 a passport and can still take up to nine weeks f. you're really in a bind, the state department does offer in-person appointments for people whose travel is wles than 14 days out, but those appointments go fast as you can imagine. so bottom line, plan ahead and renew early. >> that was kris van cleave reporting. scientists the world over are coming up with innovative ways to address climate change. one idea, put a giant screen in the atmosphere to shield the earth from the sun's warming rays. that may sound farfetched, but some environmentalists are testing the theory. ben tracy reports. >> i'm going to put this on,

hold it shut. >> reporter: on a recent morning along san francisco bay, two self-described tech guys -- >> i mean we're definitely not scientists. >> reporter: -- launched a small but provocative experiment. >> it's pathetic, but it's a start. >> reporter: they're the duo behind make sunsets. its mission is pretty clear. they sent a weather balloon filled with small amounts of sulfur dioxide 12 miles up into the stratosphere. when the balloon pops, the particles released reflect sunlight, theoretically and microscopically cooling earth. >> should a couple of tech bros be the guys experimenting with this, with no scientific background? >> no. this should absolutely be something that is well funded and done in responsible labs with adults and international consensus. i'll be thrilled to shut this company down in the off chance that happens. in the meantime, we have to take action. >> the work of make sunsets is a stunt, a provocation. >> reporter: peter frum hoff is a climate scientist at harvard.

he says make sunsets has drawn attention to geoengineering as a potential response to rising global temperatures and runaway climate change. >> i think of solar geoengineering as the worst possible way to address climate change that we need to take seriously. >> what exactly is solar geo engineering? >> a set of proposed technologies to rapidly cool 9 earth by reflecting sun light back into space. >> reporter: the idea is based on the cooling effect of volcanic eruptions. when mount pinatubo in the philippines erupted in 1991, it spewed 20 million tons of sulfur dioxide in the sky. that reflected so much sunlight, global temperatures dropped by an entire degree the following year. >> so one notion is that we could mimic those volcanic eruptions by sending specially equipped airplanes into the stras sphere to do exactly the same thing. >> reporter: the u.s. government is now flying high altitude planes to the stratosphere to

study what sun-blocking gases may already be there. microsoft founder bill gates backed a major project at harvard using balloons to deploy aer aerosols. but tests were put on hold after some pushback. while it may seem farfetched. a recent united nations report seriously considers using giant space mirrors to deflect sunlight while other scientists propose mining moondust and launching it at the sun. at the palo alto research center in silicon valley, this white tent is a makeshift lab for experiments with something called marine cloud brightening. >> this would generate the plume that will contain the aerosols. >> reporter: it injects saltwater into clouds over the ocean. >> the idea is you'll make the clouds a little brighter and that will reflect more sunlight back up into the atmosphere. >> exactly. that's the idea. those effects would be ben financial or negative. >> reporter: this woman runs

silver linings. she says we need to quickly curb our planet-warming fossil fuel emissions because dimming the sun isn't a long-term solution. it's a sign of desperation. >> this would not be the first choice? >> no, or third or fourth choice. you have to compare it to overloading the system with warming and the environmental system starting to break down, which is where we're sitting on the edge of. >> this is something that might provide some cooling and buy us some time to rapidly shift away from fossil fuels. >> that's right. but there are a lot of things that we don't know. how does the climate system respond if you do that over a long period of time? >> reporter: if it all sounds like science fiction, well, it was. the 2013 film snow piercer depicted geoengineering gone away, turning the planet into a dystopian snow globe and confining humanity to a

high-speed train. climate scientists are divided on geo engineering. in dueling public letters, one side calls for accelerated research while the other wants it banned, warning the possible deployment of solar geo engineering by individual nations would be frightening and inequitable. >> solar geo engineering is unprecedented. it will impact everyone. >> reporter: suu kyi till aty is a former energy department official. she now runs an organization pushing for developing nations to have a voice in decisions about geo engineering. many of these countries have been disproportionately impacted by climate change. >> i think right now the global north is entirely dominating the conversation, and speaking on behalf of a lot of different communities and countries in the global south. i think that's incredibly dprous and incredibly disrespectful. >> i think what we really need is an international conversation, right? solar geo engineering is a desperate measure and one that we should make every effort to avoid. >> reporter: peter frumhoff says we also need to speed up the clean energy transition so we

don't have to rely on risky and rogue experiments. >> ready? >> reporter: in an attempt to supervise the sun. i'm ben tracy in san francisco. there's a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news."

>> reporter: all under the care of genevieve church. >> i'm the executive director of city grazing. i'm the most glorified goat herd on the planet. >> reporter: in all, her herd numbers 128 and the city is their pasture. >> we are a nonprofit, and we take goats all over san francisco and some of the surrounding bay area to eat down fire hazard as we are here at malcolm x academy. >> reporter: the goats' main job is fire prevention because all this green will turn brown and dangerous in california's dry summer. but here at an elementary school, malcolm x academy, the goats can also be educational. >> the students get to come out here and see this, and it's a really tangible example of what we do and why we do it. >> reporter: rebecca poland is landscape manager for the san francisco unified school district. the goats, she says, provide a lesson in sustainability. >> it's a really circular ecology. the goats eat the grass and, you know, they digest the grass, and their waste is really great for

the soil, which helps with erosion. so over the long term, insteloe, we're regenerating the land. >> you must have maintenance staff that come out here with tools and cut all this down in a few hours probably. >> you know, some of the area is sloped, so that's a little tricky to do. then of course once they cut it, all of the grass would be remaining here, and the goats will eat it, so it's actually more fire-safe than it would be if we did it with the crews. >> reporter: what other kind of fire prevention could bring this much joy? >> now, why would a goat eat some grass from a hand on the other side of the fence line when there's all this grass over here? >> it could be more delicious. who knows what that child might put through the fence? >> reporter: for special ed teacher teresa bryant, the goats are a gift to the students here. >> they really need to see the goats in the neighborhood and enjoy it not in the country but right here in our city, in our neighborhood. >> reporter: but it's a neighborhood and a school that sometimes has to struggle to
