The UK just made the world’s biggest investment in #SolarGeoengineering R&D: £45m for 21 “climate cooling” projects via ARIA. We asked experts what it means — and what comes next. 🔗 buff.ly/TAYxm2p

I've always been open about my belief that having +research on SRM is good, so to me the ARIA program is very welcome. Most of the funded research is about expanding our understanding of potential outcomes through modeling, obs and engagement. Yes, there are some outdoor scientific experiments:

Does anyone know of an all-methods-at-obce graphic for CDR that is as good as thos one for solar geoengineering by @srm360.bsky.social ?
A graphic showing different ways of increasing the amount of sunlight reflected from the Earth. Specifically it shows Stratspheric aerosol injection, marine cloud brightening, space based reflection, surface brightening and cirrus cloud thinning

Aluminium oxide? Calcite? Diamond particles? Sandro Vattioni argues that research into alternative SAI materials could yield more effective results than sulphur dioxide. #SolarGeoengineering #SunlightReflectionMethods #ClimateIntervention

New #GENIE article on #climate emotions at a global level, and how these correspond to support for ten climate intervention approaches. Now available in Risk Analysis (with @liviafritz.bsky.social, Elina Brutschin, Benjamin Sovacool) 🧵 Open access link: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
F I G U R E 3 Emotions about climate change (hopeful, afraid, angry, and sad) across 30 countries, on a 1–5 scale (1 = not at all, 5 = extremely) withN = 30,284 participants (at least 1000 participants in each country); Numbers to the left reflect those answering “1” or “2,” in the middle “3,” and to the right“4” or “5.” Panel (a) shows the results for “hopeful”; Panel (b) for “afraid”; Panel (c) for ”angry”; and Panel (d) for “sad”.

Could researching #SunlightReflectionMethods inadvertently reduce momentum for cutting emissions? Mitigation displacement – also described as "moral hazard" – is one of the main critical objections to #SRM. How might society react? #SolarGeoengineering #ClimateIntervention

This is the kind of question that SRM360 is here to answer. Journalists, policymakers, the public have a lot of questions about SRM geoengineering, and the scientific literature addresses these, but it's very hard to penetrate. SRM360.org aims to bridge this gap.

Could #SRM undermine emissions cuts? This is one of the leading concerns around these ideas, and could fatally undermine it. @srm360.bsky.social has explainers of this and other issues that SRM presents.
