Geoengineering, using technology to counter the effects of climate change, is a controversial topic. Some think the idea is counterproductive, as it diverts attention and resources away from reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. Others feel it may be the only way to mitigate runaway climate change and buy enough time to truly convert to low carbon energy sources. Should we be studying how to use high altitude systems for observation or to alter atmospheric chemistry, or deploying reflector or scattering objects with space systems, or other possible solutions in geoengineering applications?
Some recent research studies recommend that we should be researching aviation enabled geoengineering applications, despite the high current levels of uncertainty:
"Model results indicate that solar geoengineering could offset most climate change...“ – Ken Caldeira, Stanford University, National Academies Workshop June 20, 2023
“An operational SRM [Solar Radiation Modification] deployment is the only known approach that could be deliberately implemented to cool the Earth within a few years” - Bala, Caldeira, et al. One Atmosphere: An independent expert review of Solar Radiation Modification research and deployment, United National Environment Programme, 2023
Join us for a lecture and discussion of this issue at this special AIAA Los Angeles Section event.
