Abstract
The impact of climate change spans the globe and includes increasingly
severe and dangerous climate events, including coastal flooding, extreme
heat and wildfires, reduced crop yield, and decreased food security. In the
United States, if the proper steps toward mitigating or reversing the
effects of climate change are not taken, it is very likely that the United
States will experience substantial damage to its economy, the health of its
citizens, and the environment. In response to the challenges presented by
climate change, the number of inventions in the field of climate
engineering, or “geoengineering,” has skyrocketed over the past several
years, and the number of patent applications and grants for technologies in
that field has similarly increased dramatically.
