# Making it rain: Why more and more countries are turning to cloud seeding. * Countries are increasingly embracing the controversial practice of cloud seeding as global water demand continues to rise. * Iran recently sprayed clouds with chemicals as part of a push to boost rainfall to tackle the country’s worst drought in decades, while India unsuccessfully experimented with cloud seeding to combat air pollution in Delhi. Augustus Doricko, CEO of Rainmaker, a California-based cloud seeding company, said there are two dynamics at play that seem to be rekindling people's interest in the technology — both in the U.S. and across the world. Yet, despite its name, Doricko said the company's cloud seeding projects are mostly designed to make it snow. "The other concept of why more countries may be embracing cloud seeding technologies is that it's currently one of the only options to enhance increasingly stressed localized water resources or help mitigate regional air pollution by using Earth's natural atmospheric systems as a viable water source," McDonough said.

# Geoengineering: Building ethics, transparency and inclusion into climate intervention research. Geoengineering or climate intervention aims to tackle global warming through large-scale interventions in Earth’s climate system.Image: iStockphoto/AleksandarGeorgiev. * The urgency of the climate crisis has boosted interest in climate intervention or geoengineering – large-scale interventions to counteract global warming. Climate intervention, also known as geoengineering, is the deliberate large-scale intervention in Earth’s climate system to counteract global warming. On 22 October 2024, the American Geophysical Union (AGU) released its Ethical Framework Principles for Climate Intervention Research as a guide to responsible decision-making and inclusive dialogue about geoengineering research. Two leading concepts in climate intervention research – carbon dioxide removal and solar radiation modification – are defined and addressed in the framework, but the principles are broad and flexible by design so they can be applied to all emerging research. AGU developed these framework principles through a two-year process that included an open public comment period and contributions from a global board of scientists, policymakers, ethicists, government agencies, nongovernmental organizations and representatives of potentially impacted communities including Indigenous peoples.

Solar geoengineering seeks to cool Earth’s temperature by reflecting incoming sunlight back into space, but effects on the environment and public health are uncertain. * Solar geoengineering methods might mitigate Earth’s rising temperatures, but effects are highly uncertain. * More research and field testing of solar geoengineering methods would improve understanding of effects. **What is it?** Solar geoengineering, also referred to as solar radiation modification, includes several proposed methods to reflect sunlight back into space. **How does it work?** Two atmospheric methods of solar geoengineering are generally considered the most feasible and cost effective. Other experiments, including one in the U.S., have been cancelled due to public concerns about safety or the ethics of solar geoengineering use. * **Unknown consequences.** Potentially harmful effects on human health and the environment from solar geoengineering use have been identified but are poorly understood. * What information is needed to inform public policy discussions about the use of solar geoengineering, such as the effects and ethical implications, and how might policymakers facilitate its collection?

In 2022, Congress directed the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), with support from NOAA and in coordination with the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department of Energy (DOE), to develop a five-year federal research plan for “solar and other rapid climate interventions.” [1] The resulting 2023 Biden Administration Report to Congress (pdf) (923 kb) concluded that the development of a federal research program on solar geoengineering would help to better inform decisions on the potential risks and benefits and help prepare for possible deployment by other public or private actors. Starting in Fiscal Year 2020, NOAA received direction from Congress to conduct research on natural events and human activity that could change the Earth’s radiation budget (ERB), including solar geoengineering. Since 2020, NOAA’s ERB Program has initiated various research activities on solar geoengineering, such as atmospheric modeling, stratospheric observations, and laboratory activities to understand the physical impacts of stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) and marine cloud brightening (MCB).
