Extract The Chinese research programme is investigating the risks and potential impacts. It is funded by a 17 million yuan <https://www.chinadialogue.net/article/show/single/en/8764-World-would-likely-need-geoengineering-to-meet-Paris-targets-but-what-are-the-risks-> (US$3 million) grant from the Ministry of Science and Technology. The team of over thirty researchers has focused on governance issues and computer modelling to understand geoengineering’s impacts, particularly on China. One of their studies <https://www.atmos-chem-phys.net/17/6547/2017/>, for instance, models how sulfate aerosol injection could slow the melting of the Himalayan glaciers, which are key to China’s water security. The lead Chinese scientist on the team, Cao Long, an Earth sciences professor at Zhejiang University and one of China’s IPCC report authors, is careful to distinguish research from deployment. “Doing this research does not mean that we will definitely implement geoengineering in the future,” he says. “The research itself has scientific value.” -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
