PODCASTS
Slippery slope meets precautionary principle - Andow | Reviewer 2 does geoengineering
"How can we merge the concepts of slippery slopes and the precautionary principle? James Andow explains how precautionary evaluation of risks can help us evaluate both the risks of ending up on a slippery slope to deployment, and the risks resulting from deployment. James argues that we need to concern ourselves with risks, not just inevitabilities, when considering slippery slopes. For additional reading discussed, see books "Innate" and "the WEIRDest people in the world". Paper: "Slippery Slope Arguments as Precautionary Arguments: A New Way of Understanding the Concern about Geoengineering Research" (https://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/whp/ev/pre-prints/content-whp_ev_3729)"
Does MCB actually work? Mahfouz | Reviewer 2 does geoengineering
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/does-mcb-actually-work-mahfouz/id1529459393?i=1000602560752
"Mahfouz explains some big problems with MCB to @geoengineering1. Can we fill in the knowledge gaps, before it's too late to use MCB? Paper: "The Radiative and Cloud Responses to Sea Salt Aerosol Engineering in GFDL Models" (https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2022GL102340)"

Solar geoengineering: New weapon to fight climate crisis? | Latest English News | WION
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBP_ZcjcieI
As the global temperature of the earth rises, scientists continue the search for new measures to deal with the climate crises. One such technique that is now being touted is solar geoengineering. Scientists are still divided on the use of solar radiation management and only further research can tell if the method can be used to alter the heat budget.
