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...
Heated debate on geoengineering solutions to climate changeDICK AHLSTROM
EarthShine Geoengineering, Inc uses research and innovation to combat the effects of climate change. Learn more.
Geoengineering solutions to climate change propose to alter the physics, chemistry, or biology of the climate system to offset the effects of GHG pollution. Geoengineering solutions that have been proposed include injecting aerosols into the stratosphere to reduce incoming radiation, placing giant mirrors...
Among the technologies that require the most scrutiny are CDR projects that threaten indigenous lands, food security, and water availability. Such large-scale technological schemes must be regulated diligently, to ensure that climate-change solutions do not ad...
Climate scientists have been warning for decades of the devastating consequences to expect as a result of global warming.
Continued inaction has led some scientists to consider alternative solutions to stave off the worst from occurring. Geoengineering has long been touted as a potential solution for our global warming woes. Now, the idea of launching a gigantic dust cloud from the moon to combat Earth’s rising ...
Damages due to climate change are expected to increase with global warming, which could be limited directly by solar geoengineering. Here we analyse the views of 723 negotiators and scientists who are involved in international climate policy-making and who will have a considerable influence on whethe...
It encourages submissions that advance theoretical knowledge and demonstrate practical solutions to geoengineering problems, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration to enhance the global impact of its publications. The journal fosters community engagement, providing a vibrant platform for exchanging ideas and ...
