Royal Society Report Concludes Geoengineering and its Consequences May be the Price for Failure to Act on Climate Change; Recommendations for Plan B

Green Car Congress

Unless emissions of carbon dioxide can be greatly reduced—i.e., unless future efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are much more successful then they have been so far—potentially dangerous and unproven geoengineering will be required to cool the Earth this century, according to the latest report from the UK’s Royal Society.

Geo-engineering could be ‘our only hope’

Green Cars News

The future of the Earth could rest on potentially dangerous and unproven geo-engineering technologies unless emissions of carbon dioxide can be greatly reduced, the latest Royal Society report has found. SRM techniques act by reflecting the sun’s energy away from Earth, meaning they lower temperatures rapidly, but do not affect CO2 levels.

The Why, How, and Maybe Not of Geoengineering

Eliza Strickland: Man-made climate change is already reshaping our planet, and carbon emissions aren’t coming down fast enough to stave off real disaster in the decades to come. Strickland: Why don’t you focus on just cutting carbon emissions? Transcript. It does not act on the greenhouse gases that are already in the atmosphere.
