the guardian: Reflecting sunlight into space has terrifying consequences, say scientists
„But ‘geoengineers’ say urgent nature of climate change means research must continue into controversial technology to combat rising temperatures“
„But ‘geoengineers’ say urgent nature of climate change means research must continue into controversial technology to combat rising temperatures“
„Three projects funded by the British government since 2010 to study the deliberate tinkering with the planet to counteract climate change, known as geoengineering, are soon to end. Today scientists presenting at the Royal Society in London announced some of their findings, took stock of some of their setbacks and laid out the way forward.“
The German theater collective Rimini Protokoll perfomrs a climate conference with some discussion on CE.
„A group of researchers at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) has proposed developing a small-scale experiment in the atmosphere to better inform scientists and policymakers on the merits of this method, reports Science Daily.“
„Unep is „extremely interested“ in the subject [of CE] and is planning a report.“
Amongst others on Oxford Geoengineering Program. „The third instalment in our „Skills for the New Economy“ series looks at interdisciplinary approaches to big problems.“
„Now, a team of researchers from the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) has outlined how a small-scale “stratospheric perturbation experiment” could work. By proposing, in detail, a way to take the science of geoengineering to the skies, they hope to stimulate serious discussion of the practice by policymakers and scientists.“
„Harvard scientists say aspects of solar geoengineering can—and should—be tested without need for full-scale deployment„
„Scientists are revisiting controversial propositions to manipulate the atmosphere and slow down the increase in temperatures on Earth by reflecting more of the sun’s energy back into space. Researchers from Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) are proposing a stratospheric perturbation experiment[nbsp]using small amounts of sulphuric acid to block sunlight.“
Guest Post – Rachel Smolker, Biofuelwatch. „While a remarkeable number of people, including IPCC scientists and even some environmentalists even appear easily fooled, the atmosphere and earth systems certainly will not be!“
