Public perceptions on solar geoengineering from focus groups in 22 countries
Solar geoengineering maintains a vocal presence as a stop-gap measure in assessments of climate and sustainability action. In this paper, we map...

Abrupt reduction in ship** emission as an inadvertent geoengineering termination shock produces substantial radiative warming
Human activities affect the Earth’s climate through modifying the composition of the atmosphere, which then creates radiative forcing that drives...
-
Geoengineering from the standpoint of uncertainty and related risks: science or science fiction?
In this opinion/comment we discuss the issues related to proposed geoengineering solutions to climate change. We argue, that while scientifically...

Mitigation by Geoengineering
Geoengineering seeks to alter the Earth itself to respond to the climate crisis. Two of the main ideas are to reduce incoming solar...
-
Radiative forcing geoengineering under high CO2 levels leads to higher risk of Arctic wildfires and permafrost thaw than a targeted mitigation scenario
Radiative forcing geoengineering is discussed as an intermediate solution to partially offset greenhouse gas-driven warming by altering the Earth’s...

Clouds dissipate quickly during solar eclipses as the land surface cools
Clouds affected by solar eclipses could influence the reflection of sunlight back into space and might change local precipitation patterns. Satellite...

Public attitude toward solar radiation modification: results of a two-scenario online survey on perception in four Asia–Pacific countries
Solar geoengineering or solar radiation modification (SRM) is increasingly looming large as a potential response to human-induced climate change....

Chinese public’s perceptions and understanding of the potential roles of solar climate engineering for reducing climate change risks
Limiting global temperature increases appear to be an exceedingly challenging task due to great difficulty in advancing carbon reduction emission...

Experimental reaction rates constrain estimates of ozone response to calcium carbonate geoengineering
Stratospheric solar geoengineering (SG) would impact ozone by heterogeneous chemistry. Evaluating these risks and methods to reduce them will require...

Improving risk governance strategies via learning: a comparative analysis of solar radiation modification and gene drives
Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) and gene drive organisms (GDOs) have been proposed as technological responses to complex entrenched...

Why is the sky blue? A new question for political science
The future of political science in this crucial century requires that it (i) adopt the contemporary scientific paradigm, (ii) open itself to pluri-,...

Diminished efficacy of regional marine cloud brightening in a warmer world
Marine cloud brightening (MCB) is a geoengineering proposal to cool atmospheric temperatures and reduce climate change impacts. As large-scale...

Climate experts’ views on geoengineering depend on their beliefs about climate change impacts
Damages due to climate change are expected to increase with global warming, which could be limited directly by solar geoengineering. Here we analyse...
