As the Earth inches closer to 2°C of average warming above pre-industrial levels, some scientists aren’t just interested in how to cut emissions. They’re also interested in how to buy the planet more ...

A study reports that scattering sunlight-reflecting particles in the atmosphere -- a theoretical form of climate engineering known as 'stratospheric aerosol injection' -- has potential to slow rapid ...

Anthropogenic climate change has led to sea level rise and increasingly extreme weather events, including droughts, floods, and heatwaves. Climate change threatens oceanic and terrestrial ecosystems ...

For a couple decades, following along with climate engineering discussions could occasionally induce some déjà vu. The idea of intentionally messing with the climate system in order to counteract some ...

Dutch designer Britt Berden has created a pair of models that show what happens when scientists try to counter global warming. Presented at this year's Dutch Design Week, Plan B is a project that aims ...

Shivani Dharanipragada ‘25, is a computer science and economics major and was a 2022-23 environmental ethics fellow with the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics. Views are her own. As Earth’s climate ...

Climate scientists confirm that July 2023 was the world’s hottest month on record. The current speed of global warming is giving strong impetus to consider all options available to counter the heating ...

The U.S. National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine have recently recommended an expansive federal research effort into climate engineering techniques. These proposed interventions, like ...

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the scientific body of the United Nations, mandated to study climate change, defines climate engineering as “deliberately altering the climate ...

Climate change is gaining prominence as a political and public priority. But many ambitious climate action plans foresee the use of climate engineering technologies whose risks are insufficiently ...
