The Climate Hackers

Abstract:

Different forms of geoengineering have been proposed: spraying sulfates
into the upper atmosphere to block a portion of sunlight, fertilizing the
ocean with iron to spark carbon-gobbling algal blooms, or covering sea ice
with bags of silicon beads to slow its melting. The idea is controversial,
to say the least, but, as a new report shows, geoengineering is edging away
from the margins and toward the center of discussions about climate change.
The polarized debate surrounding geoengineering exemplifies the
difficulties of talking about, much less solving, the problem of climate
change, an issue where ethical, scientific, and political questions
overlap, blend together, and sometimes obscure one another.
