His research focuses on how engineering intervention in marine systems can be used to improve ecological, environmental, or societal outcomes. In this episode, we explore Daniel’s work in applying Marine Cloud Brightening (MCB) to protect the Great Barrier Reef against global warming. We find out what MCB is, discuss how it can be implemented responsibly and effectively to save the Great Barrier Reef, and other potential applications. *C2GTalk: How will global warming impact society, both economically and socially? with Paulo Artaxo | **CARNEGIE COUNCIL PODCASTS* https://www.c2g2.net/paulo-artaxo/ <https://www.c2g2.net/paulo-artaxo/?utm_content=237108901&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&hss_channel=tw-915487163751571457> Research on solar radiation modification is needed, especially in the Global South, to understand whether it could be an option for reducing climate risk, said Professor Paulo Artaxo during a C2GTalk <https://www.c2g2.net/c2gtalk/>. The planet is currently headed for 3°C global warming, yet the world is still not doing enough to phase out fossil fuels and net zero goals look extremely difficult to achieve. *Local cooling, SAI, & CDR – Baiman | Reviewer 2 does geoengineering <https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/reviewer-2-does-geoengineering/id1529459393>* Some of the topics talked about in the podcast: 1) US Climate policy, 2) Radical or heterodox economics, Neoclassical or orthodox economics, and the DICE model, 3) The need for urgent direct climate cooling *to have any impact* on reducing climate harm in the short-run (at least) the next few decades, 4) Discussions of local versus global, high leverage versus low leverage, with economic costs or benefits, direct climate cooling methods, 5) Discussion of net-zero warming plateau even as ocean uptake of carbon continues, to the disconnect between climate scientists and activists like us who are “screaming hair on fire” that *only direct climate cooling can reduce climate harm now* and the earlier “marching orders” that politicians and general public received that *doing something about climate means “checking the box” on emissions cuts or net-zero*, 6) How the long-run GHG reduction and removal coupled with natural regeneration is not going to happen (at least not expeditiously at scale) without *massive transfers of funding and technology from rich to poor countries* of well above $4 T per year, 7) How this expeditious transfer will not occur without a *mandatory global cap and trade regime like Kyoto that transferred $303 B in mandatory CDM offset funding mostly to China*, compared to the *purely voluntary Paris Accord GCF voluntary donation efforts that have raised only $ 18 B*, 8) How the *EU that continued the Kyoto mandatory regime is only major region in the world to actually reduce GHG emissions since 1990,* 9) Why focusing on and debating SAI as a *single binary yes or no choice* on climate cooling is ill informed and counterproductive to the cause of urgently focusing on and prioritizing direct climate cooling now, 10) As we work on GHG removal and natural regeneration so that we can emerge from our current energy and material “hunter gatherer” industrial civilization “Sinai” to the sustainable and potentially much more equitable renewable energy and materials “farmer cultivator” industrial civilization “promised land” in the long-run. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/local-cooling-sai-cdr-baiman/id1529459393?i=1000598002442 7) YOUTUBE VIDEOS *There's a playlist with more videos on the topic, you can check it out here: * https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF8369A27273314D8 *John Ferguson: Who are the most legitimate advocates for SRM research today? | C2G Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLaqMubOH3g Who are the most legitimate advocates for solar radiation Modification research today? *How will global warming impact society, both economically and socially? | C2G Talk* https://www.c2g2.net/paulo-artaxo/ <https://www.c2g2.net/paulo-artaxo/?utm_content=237108901&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&hss_channel=tw-915487163751571457> Research on solar radiation modification is needed, especially in the Global South, to understand whether it could be an option for reducing climate risk, said Professor Paulo Artaxo during a C2GTalk <https://www.c2g2.net/c2gtalk/>.
