A place to talk about cooling the Earth

Source guide

The provided text, originally from The Economist, argues for a crucial international conversation about geoengineering as a potential response to climate change. It highlights the 1977 ENMOD treaty, initially designed to prevent hostile environmental modification, as a surprisingly suitable framework for discussing intentional planetary cooling methods like solar geoengineering. While acknowledging the significant risks and ethical concerns associated with such interventions, the article stresses the dire consequences of inaction in the face of ever-rising global temperatures. Ultimately, it suggests that the UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, is uniquely positioned to initiate this vital dialogue among nations, moving beyond solely focusing on emission reductions which offer delayed effects.
