Hello! Here is a list of recent podcasts on the topics of geoengineering.
Hope you enjoy it! --------- *The Pulse: “New fronts in the fight against climate change”* by The Pulse https://open.spotify.com/episode/2O7rCaXU8vT0eHJZwkWA8l The search for solutions to address climate change is urgent. People want action now, something that will move the needle. But every solution that’s on the table has potential unintended consequences or tradeoffs involved. For example, wind power sounds like a great, clean option, but wind farms need space — where should they be located? A plan to construct them in the ocean is upsetting many fishermen and conservationists. Efforts to mine the ocean floor for precious metals needed to make batteries for renewables are scaring marine biologists. And an audacious plan to cool the earth through geo-engineering is making lots of folks very anxious. On this episode, we explore climate solutions, their potential drawbacks, and how we can carefully weigh the risks and benefits. *Geoengineering : Who should control our atmosphere?* by Climate One https://open.spotify.com/episode/3KpJcazitQJnyGHiL5f56F According to the latest IPCC Assessment Report, we’re currently on course for at least 3°C (5.4°F) of warming by 2100 even if all of the voluntary Paris Agreement emissions pledges are fulfilled. Clearly the world needs to do more to reduce emissions. But what if that’s still not enough? Solar geoengineering – such as putting sulfate aerosols into the stratosphere to reduce the amount of the sun’s heat from reaching the earth – could be one tool to slow warming temporarily. But it has become so politically fraught that even research into the subject is contentious. Who decides who should control our atmosphere? And what global governance structures should be put in place before any experimentation begins? This program is generously underwritten in part by the Laney and Pasha Thornton Foundation. *CCT - Mitchell* by Reviewer2 Does Geoengineering https://open.spotify.com/episode/2wuG4fFszFHTtww41h1rbR David Mitchell explains cirrus cloud thinning in detail, and why climate models without mountains get it badly wrong. There is no paper reference here, but there are some hard lessons about the peer review process! NB this episode has been clumsily edited to disguise various errors made by @geoengineering1 *SRM and Iceland* by Reviewer2 Does Geoengineering https://open.spotify.com/episode/3xzDsF82SJnWX5bVpUMOfl Warmed by ocean currents and geothermal heat, Icelandic ice caps are in an unusual situation. How would they be affected by SRM? John Moore from Beijing Normal University is in discussion with @geoengineering1 (who is uncharacteristically well-behaved). Paper: Insensitivity of mass loss of Icelandic Vatnajökull ice cap to solar geoengineering https://tc.copernicus.org/preprints/tc-2021-318/ *Game Theory, coalitions & SRM* by Reviewer2 Does Geoengineering https://open.spotify.com/episode/3flGhLHgaDt6VEn5IFMeXC The actual Reviewer 2 Jesse Reynolds becomes our Reviewer 2 and interviews Daniel Heyen on his coalition formation paper. "Solar geoengineering governance: a dynamic framework of farsighted coalition formation" https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfclm/kgab010 *DICE, Moral Hazard and SRM - Belaia* by Reviewer2 Does Geoengineering https://open.spotify.com/episode/33QBEF51SJIbGtLPrsx8hD Mariia Belaia is an economist, who used the Dynamic Integrated Climate-Economy (DICE) model to argue that over half of climate change may optimally be addressed using SRM. @geoengineering1 is so horrified that he turns into an actual commie, live on air.
