Yet caving in to this opposition would raise, rather than reduce, the dangers to the planet. Geoengineering is not an alternative to mitigating climate change by cutting carbon emissions, but it may be needed as a complement to it. Although pressure for cuts in carbon emissions through negotiati...
In recent decades, scientists have proposed engineered interventions to counter the effects of climate change. These are called "climate interventions" or "geoengineering". They are not long-term solutions, but could protect communities and ecosystems, buying time both to reduce emissions and for the...
A review of studies on geoengineering has found that deliberately altering the weather as a method for stopping climate change will have negligible effects. Scientists have known for decades that atmospheric aerosols can create a cooling effect on the climate by scattering incoming solar radiation back...
a cost-effective way to sequester CO2from the atmosphere and an environmentally friendly way to ameliorate sand storms and mitigate desert encroachment6. The United Nations considers afforestation to be a key governmental climate-change mitigation strategy7. Afforestation not only...
On reflection Researchers in the US have estimated that modification of stratospheric albedo – a widely discussed geoengineering technique to counteract some of the effects of climate change – could cost as little as $5bn a year. Although this is just a small fraction of the gross domestic pro...

Yet, there is no consensus about how to mitigate and manage its effects. This study considers to what degree formal geoengineering is being treated as a workable approach to managing climate change. It explores an elaborate discourse trying to judge which high tech intervention might be more ...
Planet Earth is under an all out weather warfare assault. In this video, Dane Wigington gives another presentation in Northern California on the harmful effects of Geoengineering, declaring that there is virtually NO NATURAL WEATHER due to the massive global climate engineering. The very essentials ...
running the Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Environment at Imperial College London,has calledsolar geoengineering a “fool’s paradise.” She fears it could become an excuse for not cutting emissions, and says the risk of side-effects from “playing God” with the climate is ...
geoengineering offsets all future warming. While this reduces overall climate change substantially, we show that in these simulations, it goes too far in some respects leading to about 9% of the land area experiencing greater climate change, i.e. seeing the effects of climate change exacerbated....
