Hello! I bring to you this time a small list of recent publications, videos, podcasts on the topics of Geoengineering.
Enjoy! Hope we all have a great week

CARBON REMOVAL | What If We Fail? Reflecting Sunlight and the SRM Debate
by Marcus Sonoma
This film is an honest attempt at unpacking the ever contentious world of Solar Radiation Management — a set of proposals to counter global warming by reflecting sunlight back into space.
A big thank you to my awesome guests:
- David Keith (Professor of Applied Physics at the Harvard)
- Zeke Hausfather (Climate Lead @Stripe)
- Jesse Reynolds (Executive Secretary, Climate Overshoot Commission)
Though this may be a brief departure from Carbon Removal I believe understanding SRM further bolsters the case for Carbon Removal as well as reminding us of the utter urgency for massive emissions reductions.
MEERTALK June 2022
by MEER - Mirrors for Earth's Energy Rebalancing
The most recent IPCC report concludes sulfur emissions decreased global warming by about 0.5 °C. This is significant, but there is an uncertainty between 0.1-0.9°C. Now that the world is rapidly reducing sulfur emissions for environmental and health regulations through the use of cleaner fuels and with flue gas cleaning systems, the world could experience rapid warming from reduced dimming. Sulfur particles (aerosols) are light and bright particles, which also act to make clouds more reflective. The reduction of ~80% of sulfur emissions from shipping provides a research opportunity to help quantify the effect of these changes. Leon will present the first results of their study.
The Weather Control/Geo-Engineering Debate | "Suppressed Science"
by Curiosity Stream
SUPPRESSED SCIENCE mixes mind-blowing real science with unsolved mysteries, global conspiracies, & true stories!
WEATHER CONTROL: Human interference with the environment has led us to the brink of an extinction-level climate change crisis. But perhaps the solution is not to interfere less with the environment, but actually to learn how to completely control it.
Podcasts
Solar Geoengineering Would Be Radical. It Might Also Be Necessary.
by FREAKONOMICS
David Keith has spent his career studying ways to reflect sunlight away from the earth. It could reduce the risks of climate change — but it won’t save us.
Making sense of solar engineering
by Catalyst
In this episode, Shayle talks to Dan Visioni, a climate modeler who conducts research on solar geoengineering at Cornell University’s Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.
They discuss what solar geoengineering might look like in the real world.
Explore a Low-Carbon Future & the Tradeoffs in Climate Geoengineering
by Let's Talk Risk
Benjamin K. Sovacool, professor at Boston University, University of Sussex, and Aarhus University, joins the podcast to discuss his new research on climate geoengineering. Sovacool dives into the risk tradeoffs of carbon removal and solar radiation management. His research highlights different risks in the climate system, and the institutional, political, behavioral, social and cultural risks that accompany deployment of new technology. To close out the podcast, Sovacool shares the three policy implications from the study.
