“The International Environmental Law Committee of the American Branch of the International Law Association, which I co-chair with Myanna Dellinger, has just launched a new podcasting series, Global Energy and Environmental Law.”

“The impact on the dynamics of the stratosphere of three approaches to geoengineering by Solar Radiation Management is investigated using idealized simulations of a global climate model.”

“A science writer examines the damage humans have done to the Earth’s climate and the ways people are working to improve it.”
“Whales may seem an unlikely tool for manipulating the planet’s climate, but it turns out they can play a major role in doing exactly that. Or rather, their excrement can. It sounds outlandish, but new research suggests whale feces may be among our best hopes for coaxing Earth’s oceans to suck up more carbon.”
“The notion is that if our efforts to combat climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions are too little or too late, we may have to try to change the climate deliberately.”
“But to say that we were “terraforming Earth” was painfully ironic, suggesting as it did that we had damaged our home planet so badly we now needed to take drastic steps to restore it to itself. When geoengineering entered the lexicon, many bristled at the word’s hubristic implication that we had the knowledge and power to engineer anything so large and complex as our planet.”
“Scientists have been contemplating the Last Resort.[nbsp] Above, Rutger’s Alan Robock on pros, and cons.”
“The COP 20 meetings in Lima have officially come to a close, and reactions to the outcomes from the negotiations are mixed. […] How the continued negotiations play out over the next year will have important implications for[nbsp]the carbon dioxide removal (“CDR”) field.”
““Geoengineering” our climate sounds like an idea from the mind of Dr. Strangelove, but tests of the methods may save us from disaster”
