“The Degrees Initiative is a UK-based NGO that builds the capacity of developing countries to evaluate solar radiation modification geoengineering (SRM). We believe that the Global South needs home-grown evidence and expertise to influence this critical debate. After ten years as a project housed within other organisations, Degrees has registered as a UK charity and is in a phase of ambitious expansion.”
Are the scientists who study Solar Radiation Modification “boosters” as some critics suggest? Do they exaggerate its benefits while downplaying its risks, limitations and the challenges it presents? Do they instead display “an unusual self-reflexivity, as they are well aware of and seriously consider all the technology’s risks” as one…

“93% of the heat of global warming is going into the ocean. This heat can be partially converted to work and the balance sent to deep water where it provides a 226 year climate hiatus.”
