WORKING PAPERS
WEB POSTSClimate Overshoot and the CARE agenda (Plan A+)Plan A+ The Climate Overshoot Commission, a group of former high-level government officials including former prime ministers and environment ministers, has recently published the findings of their work in a new report. Brought together to consider the risk that we will overshoot the totemic 1.5 Celcius warming target, they lay out a comprehensive set of options… 3 days ago · 2 likes · Pete Irvine Global SRM Technologies - A Tier List (Plan A+)Plan A+ Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) geoengineering is my main research focus and the focus of this substack, but why? There are several other SRM technologies, what makes SAI special? In this post I’m going to populate a “Tier List” of global SRM technologies (Figure 1), i.e., I’m going to rank them as means of counteracting global climate change. Let… 19 days ago · 1 like · 2 comments · Pete Irvine

“The Radiative Forcing Pattern Effect on Climate Sensitivity
“In this episode, Shayle talks to Dan Visioni, a climate scientist and assistant professor at Cornell University’s Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. They cover topics including-The mechanism behind marine cloud brightening and how it differs from stratospheric sulfate injection.-Why the warming effect was so strong in the North Atlantic in particular.-What we still don’t understand about the impact on global mean temperatures and regional weather, such as heat waves and hurricanes.-What this accidental experiment teaches us about how to conduct a deliberate geoengineering experiment.”
“In this week’s episode, host Kristin Hayes talks with Tyler Felgenhauer, a research director and senior research scientist at Duke University, about social science issues that are associated with solar geoengineering. Felgenhauer discusses different technologies that can facilitate solar geoengineering, the risks and benefits of these technologies, how international cooperation could affect the deployment of solar geoengineering, and recent social science research on solar geoengineering. Attend the upcoming “Solar Geoengineering Futures” conference on September 28 and 29 at Resources for the Future to join the ongoing discussion around solar geoengineering.”
“It is essential for young people in the Global South to become more involved in international climate discussions, including around solar radiation modification, says Ghanaian climate activist Nii Noi Omaboe. His decision to screen a documentary about SRM at Accra sustainability week prompted many questions, both about the risks and insufficient governance, but also about opportunities for research.Omaboe is experienced in youth governance, human rights, and global sustainable development processes. He has organized and worked for nonprofit and international organizations like Amnesty International, Red Cross, and 350 Ghana. In 2019, Omaboe co-founded Sustainability Week Accra, the first local Sustainability Week in Africa, and he currently provides strategic support to Green Africa Youth Organisation’s Ghana team as well as supporting establishment of Youth Climate Councils in the Global South. He is also a program analyst at Impact Hub Accra.”

“Two guests (with extremely complicated names) discuss the ludicrousest, amazingest paper we've ever had on the show. Yes, they're seriously asking: can we use spider's silk to make giant diffraction gratings for use in space? Amira Omer Mohamed Ahmed Salim Karlsson and Johanna D'Ciofalo Khodaverdian's bachelors' thesis is available at https://www.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?pid=diva2%3A1780558&dswid=-248They were joined by their supervisor Christer Fuglesang, to make sure Reviewer 2 wasn't too mean to them.”

HPAC Anton Keskinen, Arctic Momentum Conference in Finland | Robbie TulipA New Paradigm: Climate Repair – Anni Pokela | Operaatio Arktis “Why is arctic climate change a critical issue both locally and for the global climate system?Can the arctic summer sea ice be preserved and how?How could we assess whether climate interventions would be safer than exceeding 1.5 degrees Celsius?ARCTIC MOMENTUM explores climate interventions in the Arctic and the possibilities for equitable and science-led governance and research. In particular, we will raise awareness of techniques such as stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) and marine cloud brightening (MCB). We aim to build trust and cooperation between indigenous peoples, the research community and civil society to respond to climate risks.ARCTIC MOMENTUM is organised by the youth climate project Operation Arctic in collaboration with SilverLining and RARE Media. Other partners include The Sami Youth Council, Safer Climate Initiative, Arab Youth Climate Movement Qatar, Green Africa Youth Organization, Sustenta Honduras and Ocean Visions.Operation Arctic is a science outreach project founded by a group of young people. Operaatio Arktis invites diverse sectors of society to discuss climate interventions and the conservation of Arctic sea ice. In 2023, the project is funded by the Maj and Tor Nessling Foundation.”
