A Big-Sky Plan to Cool the PlanetPumping aerosols into the stratosphere may buy us more time, but it’s no substitute for cutting carbon emissions—and we still don’t know enough to do it responsibly. By Gernot Wagner and Martin L. Weitzman Feb. 16, 2018 12:36 p.m. ET Seriously addressing climate change means cutting carbon emissions and, ultimately, reducing the carbon already in the atmosphere. There’s no way around it. Another type of intervention, however, is increasingly garnering attention: solar geoengineering, that is, cooling the planet by making it reflect back more of the sun’s rays. It’s not a permanent solution to climate change, and it carries worrisome environmental and political risks of its own, but it’s an idea worth exploring. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
