Researchers, diplomats, and former officials ran a geopolitical war game simulating how the world would respond to solar radiation modification, revealing that governance and international cooperation would collapse far more quickly and chaotically than expected as private firms and nations race ahead.
A first-of-its-kind war game simulation in London stress-tested the world's geopolitical response to solar radiation modification technologies, revealing how easily climate cooling efforts could spiral into a dangerous arms race as private firms and billionaires increasingly back the controversial approach.
This newsletter from MIT Technology Review covers a cryptocurrency scam involving a pastor and investors, a roadmap for solar geoengineering research to address climate change, and innovations in chip energy recycling.
A nonprofit named Reflective has published a roadmap outlining the experiments, studies, and infrastructure needed to make informed decisions about deploying solar geoengineering, specifically stratospheric aerosol injection, to address climate change.
A new study suggests that marine cloud brightening, a form of solar geoengineering, could help moderate strong El Niño events and reduce their global impacts.
An MIT Technology Review article details the significant practical and engineering hurdles facing solar geoengineering, including the need for specialized aircraft to reach the stratosphere and uncertainties about the best materials to use, highlighting that large-scale deployment remains far more complex than often assumed.
