By Diffusion https://diffusionpr.com/podcast-geoengineering-climate-catastrophe-solution Our latest Dividing Lines podcast in partnership with The Near Futurist explores whether Geoengineering where technology is used to intervene on a large scale in the Earth’s natural systems, really has the potential to combat climate change. *GE**OENGINEERING IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH (ETC PODCAST)* By Geoengineering Monitor https://www.geoengineeringmonitor.org/2020/10/geoengineering-in-the-global-south-etc-podcast/ This episode of the ETC Podcast is a conversation with ETC Group’s Latin America Director, Silvia Ribeiro, about geoengineering and the Global South. Silvia has been working on geoengineering issues for 13 years, and was at the UN negotiations that passed the global moratorium on deployment in 2010 <https://www.etcgroup.org/sites/www.etcgroup.org/files/publication/pdf_file/ETCMoratorium_note101110.pdf> . *The moral hazard of solar geoengineering (rerun)* By IMDb https://m.imdb.com/title/tt24850710/ *Presenting: Catalyst - Solar Geoengineering: Is It Worth the Risk?* By* HOW TO SAVE A PLANET <https://gimletmedia.com/shows/howtosaveaplanet> * https://gimletmedia.com/shows/howtosaveaplanet/o2hm7xl Catalyst, a podcast hosted by Shayle Kann and produced by Canary Media. The topic is a controversial one: solar geoengineering — the idea that we can quickly cool the planet by blocking a small amount of sunlight from reaching Earth. Doing so could have uncertain ripple effects throughout the world’s ecosystems, so very few climate scientists advocate solar geoengineering. Still, learning about these ideas reminds us, for better or worse, how much power we humans have to radically reshape life on Earth. This episode dives into the science and ethics of it all. *VIDEOS* *Implementation and Engineering: SRM (Part 1)* By Ocean Visions https://drive.google.com/file/d/1P-9KZ_1uU2TBHvtthBFBHGjUPNDxsmEk/view *Implementation and Engineering: SRM (Part 2)* By Ocean Visions https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xroUlaj_D9EVdag8dEkTAeMaJ5sU-w4K/view A technofix for the climate? Marine geoengineering By Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung https://youtu.be/_-iu7po7N6c Part I of “A technofix for the climate?” presents some of the marine geoengineering approaches with a focus on their risks, negative impacts and potential side-effects, as well as on the question of governance of these technologies. A technofix for the climate? Atmospheric geoengineering (Solar Radiation Management) By Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung https://youtu.be/OBTVK8ajqa4 Part III of “A technofix for the climate?” presents SAI as a method of Solar Radiation Management and focusses on the risks, negative impacts and potential side-effects of this “solution” for tackling climate change. These include severe implications for international peace and security. *Managing the Risks of a Temporary Temperature Overshoot* By C2G Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YohtRF6r9Hs This side event discussed the risks of a temporary temperature overshoot in the African region and explored the role of Carbon Dioxide Removal in the context of a just energy transition to identify opportunities for sustainable development in Africa that can contribute to improving livelihoods while reducing carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere. The expert speakers looked at the critical role of Africa in shaping discussions around the international governance of solar radiation modification as a possible climate response option that could potentially reduce the risks of warming temperature. Solar Geoengineering: Warnings from Scientists, Indigenous Peoples and Climate Activists By ETC Group https://youtu.be/OVs8juLCYyQ Greta Thunberg, Vandana Shiva, Tom Goldtooth, Naomi Klein, Åsa Larsson Blind, Bill McKibben, Michael Mann, Raymond Pierrehumbert and Jennie Stephens share their perspectives — and their cautions — on the growing issue of solar geoengineering. Climate Justice Law Session: Geoengineering and the climate crisis By Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung https://youtu.be/X20jScs-V84 This climate justice law session features expert lawyers and a leader of the Saami Council who discuss how international law applies to geoengineering technologies and how indigenous peoples and organisations are defending their rights and territories in light of these new threats. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
