Hello! I bring to you a small list of recent videos on the topics of Geoengineering.
There's a playlist with more videos on topic, you can check it here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF8369A27273314D8 Enjoy! Hope we all have a great week. *What scenarios could prompt the deployment of solar radiation modification?* https://youtu.be/-9HmmIcbI4c by C2G Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative Over the last two decades solar radiation modification has gone from an intellectual experiment to something people are seriously considering, says pioneering climate scientist Ken Caldeira during a C2GTalk. Ken Caldeira is Senior Staff Scientist (emeritus) with Carnegie Institute for Science, and world famous for his work on the global carbon cycle and climate change. He was a lead author for the IPCC’s fifth assessment report, a co-author of the 2010 US National Academy America's Climate Choices report and participated in the UK Royal Society’s geoengineering panel in 2009. He is also Senior Scientist at Breakthrough Energy, which supports innovation to reach zero carbon emissions. CODEX TV - Can tech cool the planet? https://youtu.be/C3G052lyHw8 by Codex If we are going to have any chance of reaching the Paris Agreement goal of limiting the Earth’s temperature rise to no more than 1.5˚C of pre-industrial levels, the world will require a green Industrial Revolution in which virtually every aspect of the real economy is decarbonised: how we manufacturing things, travel, food production, electricity generation, and heating and cooling buildings. However, approaches that simply limit CO2 emissions may not be enough to cool the planet. So what else can be done? The idea of engineering on a planetary scale in a bid to control climate has been around for decades. It never gained traction as it was feared that any benefits could be outweighed by unexpected side effects to complex ecosystems. The current climate crisis has led to renewed calls for more research and investment in geoengineering techniques and radicle technology solutions. This event will examine the potential of some of the most radicle technology innovations that could supplement cutting global emissions: Carbon capture and storage; Solar geoengineering; Marine algae cultivation. Featured panelists will include: Sir David King, Founder and Chair, Centre for Climate Repair, Cambridge. Chief Scientific Advisor UK Government (2000 – 2007) Dr. Mar Fernández-Méndez, Marine Researcher, Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research Dr. Peter Irvine, Climate Scientist, UCL Earth Sciences Rakesh Rawal, CEO, Codex (Moderator) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
