Just noticed an article I wrote with for the conversation with @ANU_ICEDS and @aawktang was translated into Portuguese a few months ago... Kind of cool... theconversation.com/clima-e-….

Clima: é possível eliminar os furacões? Sim, mas ainda falta muita pesquisa - e muito dinheiro

Em breve, poderá ser possível reduzir a formação e a intensidade de ciclones pulverizando partículas na atmosfera acima de uma tempestade em formação. Mas a tecnologia abre uma caixa de pandora

"Researchers do not passively create a bank of knowledge for the world to draw from. They shape ideas and the way that issues are discussed.” @aawktang for @BulletinAtomic thebulletin.org/2023/06/when…

When looking is dangerous: How solar radiation management research can harm

Researching risky technologies like stratospheric aerosol injection intended to address climate change can cascade into harmful actions.

Dead before arrival: The governance of stratospheric aerosol injection

The governance of stratospheric aerosol injection raises questions like who gets to control the world’s climate and how they would go about it.

My thoughts are this would probably be very very dangerous, far more dangerous than any small scale outdoor experiment. Surely SRM in IAMs would mostly likely just literally bake in mitigation detterence?

Sobering study by Aaron Tang & @LukaKemp on the unknowns, potential impacts, & high risks of #GeoEngineering. Narrowly-focused tech fixes applied to one facet of delicately interconnected earth systems are potentially a greater threat than #climate change itself.

New paper by Aaron Tang and @LukaKemp investigates stratospheric aerosol injection's contribution to Global Catastrophic Risk. "If high levels of warming are hidden by SAI, then the system could represent a planetary Sword of Damocles" Read more here: frontiersin.org/articles/10.…
