Climate Engineering: minor potential, major side effects
GEOMAR researchers show limitations and side effects of large-scale climate intervention 25 February 2014/Kiel. With global greenhouse gas emissions continuing to increase proposals to limit the effects of climate change through the large-scale manipulation of the Earth system are… Read More ›
Geoengineering the climate could reduce vital rains
October 31, 2013 BOULDER—Although a significant build-up in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere would alter worldwide precipitation patterns, a widely discussed technological approach to reduce future global warming would also interfere with rainfall and snowfall, new research shows. … Read More ›
Let’s play God: The scientific experiments that might save the world (or destroy it…)
Fake volcanoes, giant space mirrors, oceans of iron filings… One of these ideas might save our planet from the worst effects of global warming – or destroy it. Memphis Barker reports on the rise of geoengineering – and the rift… Read More ›
Offsetting Global Warming: Targeting Solar Geoengineering to Minimize Risk and Inequality
Sunset in the Arctic. A new study at Harvard explores the feasibility of using cautious and targeted solar geoengineering to counter the loss of Arctic sea ice. (Credit: NASA/Kathryn Hansen) ScienceDaily (Oct. 21, 2012) — A new study suggests that… Read More ›
Rogue geoengineer’s ocean field test condemned : Dumped 100 tonnes of iron sulphate into the sea
14:45 17 October 2012 by Michael Marshall Frustration has bubbled up about the actions of a rogue climate hacker. Independent geoengineer Russ George has reportedly attempted to fertilise a patch of ocean in the north-east Pacific, drawing criticism from researchers… Read More ›
