Study shows support for carbon removal but great concern over solar manipulation

„According to forecasts, even the strategy to gradually reduce climate gas emissions to zero everywhere will no longer be enough to limit global heating to well below 2°C. Today, the discussion is also about „negative emissions,“ i.e., the removal of the most important greenhouse gas, CO2, from the atmosphere. Under the heading of „solar radiation management,“ some are even talking about a potential reflection of incoming sunlight. A new study led by the Berlin-based climate research institute MCC (Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change) now sheds light on the acceptance of such options.“
