Works in Progress Podcast: Sunscreen for the planet: Geoengineering a cooler planet

<p>The world is warming faster than we can cut emissions. Volcanoes are already cooling the planet, with particles that reflect sunlight. Maybe we can too. You can see the images, graphs and read the article at https://worksinprogress.co/issue/sunscreen-for-the-planet/ </p><p>And you can find the rest of Works in Progress at worksinprogress.co </p><p>Words by Daniele Visioni & Dakota Gruener <br>Read by Stuart Ritchie <br>Music by David Hackett</p>

Volts: Should we block some sunlight to cool the planet?

<p>In this episode, Dakota Gruener of Reflective walks me through her organization's new project, which maps the gaps in our scientific understanding of stratospheric aerosol injection — currently the leading candidate for directly cooling the planet. We get into what we don't know (including a factor-of-two disagreement on basic aerosol physics), who's already doing this without oversight, and the unsettling governance question of who controls the Earth's thermostat once humanity has grabbed it.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
