“Guided by the precautionary principle, the #EU will support international efforts to assess comprehensively the risks and uncertainties of climate interventions, including solar radiation modification and promote discussions on a potential international framework for its governance, including research related aspects.”

We have written up a popular science take on our research into the decade of #volcanos in Ptolemaic Egypt (160BCE), a near #srm #geoengineering analog:

"... making collective decisions on how to deploy this kind of planet-altering technology ... just the opposite of a couple guys grilling sulfur in a parking lot, letting their balloons fly, and trying to turn a profit from it.

Not much of the #CDR / #SRM research has so far employed a cross-country design to draw contrasts and/or looked at multiple technologies in a single study.

We could identify only three such studies, highlighted by the boxes below 6/

So annoyed with #SteamDeck and #SRM collections disappearing after a reboot. Files are all in the non-Steam games but not listed in collections. Also having SRM not remembering if I had **/ at the start of my objects (?) path or not. I’m finding I’m spending more time trying to make sense of bugs(?) than actually using the thing to play any games. *sigh*

Delft University says it’s considering a pilot om marine cloud brightening (MCB) in 2024. Or at least, this seems to be suggested in a Dutch news article. #MCB is a form of stratospheric radiation management (#SRM) by which sunlight is (partly) prevented penetrating the atmosphere. Hugely controversial for many reasons yet maybe required in mitigating dangerous global warming. #climatedisaster #climatechange https://nos.nl/artikel/2459892-kunnen-we-met-nieuwe-technieken-klimaatverandering-fiksen

@jgkoomey @jtemple this prompted me to learn more about the international legal situation wrt atmospheric pollution (Montreal, UNFCCC, and beyond). Governance is complex, but the unilateral private release of SRM chemicals is about as irresponsible as continued Govt funding of fossil fuel exploration & production #SRM #MontrealProtocol #UNFCCC #climatechange https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/2022-06/Annex-SubmissionCIEL-ETC-HBF-TWN-Geoengineering-Opinion.pdf

Several folks have been sharing news of a private company trying a #geoengineering approach to ‘cancel out’ some global warming.

#SRM or solar resource management is humans trying to co-opt the way strato-volcanic eruptions impact the earth. #Volcano #climate

Here is my summary on WHY I think this is a bad idea. (Think my colleagues would agree; please add on.) 1/

@sporza @BiekePurnelle @jasmijn02 net zoals Milano-Sanremo als hashtag #MSR krijgt en niet #SRM (ik probeer het uit te leggen in BiekePurnelles) 😂

The 1991 Mt. Pinatubo eruption briefly cooled the planet by 0.5degC (1degF).

What if this kind of eruption had kept happening? Could we cope? Think #geoengineering #srm #aerosols

c.2200 years ago, Ptolemaic #Egypt saw 4 #volcano eruptions in a decade causing #climate and societal disruptions
And giving a real-world #paleoclimate example of the impact of kicking to our earth’s atmosphere this way.

Reading about solar radiation management and other techniques for responding to atmospheric warming. Never ceases to amaze me that for some people it’s easier to imagine re-engineering the entire planet’s atmosphere than to modify human social behavior. #srm #climateengineering #globalwarming #climatechange #weneedanewworld #theworldwemake
