Artificially cooling the Earth would not provide ‘get-out-of-jail-free card’ from climate crisis – The Independent
Study finds solar geoengineering would not be able to prevent extreme warming if emissions were left to spiral for more than a century
Artificially cooling the Earth through technologies that reduce incoming sunlight would not be sufficient at preventing extreme warming over long timescales, if not coupled with cuts to greenhouse gases, a new study has confirmed.
The research uses modelling to examine what would happen if, hypothetically, greenhouse gases were left to spiral over the coming century while solar geoengineering was used to reduce global warming.
Solar geoengineering is a term used to describe a set of largely still-hypothetical…
