Alan Robock Benefits and Risks of Stratospheric Solar Radiation Management for Climate Intervention (Geoengineering) The BRIDGE 60 Definition of Terms Ideas for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or reflecting sunlight to cool Earth used to be called geoengineering or climate engineering, but the favored term nowadays (e.g., AGU 2018; NRC 2015) is climate intervention. Volcanic stratospheric clouds are produced by injections of SO2, so that might be the gas of choice, but some have suggested H2SO4 to reduce growth of aerosol particles (e.g., Pierce et al. Outdoor research, which involves injecting salt par­ ticles into marine clouds or various substances into the stratosphere, requires governance, including review of potential environmental impacts, monitoring of the experiments, and sanctions if the researchers break the rules (e.g., Shepherd et al. Future research is planned with scenarios that might involve credible deployments, such as balancing over­ shoot scenarios to keep global warming at less than 1.5– 2.0 K above preindustrial temperatures (e.g., Tilmes et al.

[PDF] CLIMATE INTERVENTION: THE CASE FOR RESEARCH

In brief, it argues that research would: • contribute to the goal of climate safety by improving our understanding of the likelihood of abrupt changes, and our ability to respond safely and effectively • supply governments, stakeholders, and the public with the information needed to assess and make evidence-based decisions about climate interventions • help address the risks of climate change for future generations and for vulnerable countries, especially those without resources to adapt • reduce the risk of geopolitical tensions over climate interventions due to uncertainties and mistakes.

Climate Intervention - American Meteorological Society

This has motivated discussion of mechanisms to reduce warming of the Earth system through intentional interventions, with the goal of reducing the negative impacts of climate change. The American Meteorological Society recommends an accelerated and robust climate intervention research program, and associated governance framework, to inform public policies. The research program should address 1) the scientific and technological potential for intentional interventions in the climate system to reduce climate warming, 2) quantification of the intended and unintended environmental responses of such interventions, and 3) continuous and enhanced observation of the Earth system. The desired outcome is for society to have the best possible information in hand to assess different options for reducing the risks of climate change and to decide if actions should include intentional climate intervention. With this goal in mind, AMS calls for a robust program of research with a strong governance framework to assess climate interventions.
