Recommendation

Economist Films predicts that “solar geoengineering” will be a buzz phrase of 2018. If you haven’t heard of this fascinating, controversial technology, getAbstract suggests this short but balanced primer. Scientists, environmentalists and anyone invested in climate change will appreciate the film’s careful weighing of risks and benefits – a duly cautious approach to an experiment that would affect all life on Earth.

Take-Aways

  • “Solar geoengineering” could help reverse global warming. In theory, the technology would cool the Earth by adding sunlight-deflecting materials to the stratosphere.
  • In 2018, scientists will start researching the theory by sending a balloon into the stratosphere to introduce a small amount of these materials.
  • This limited experiment won’t affect Earth’s climate but could pave the way for future climate interventions.
