April 6, 2021 5 min read Without a major slowing of global warming, humans and nature will face increasingly dire consequences. Nine of the hottest years in human history have occurred in the past decade as documented on Climate.gov. Without a major shift in this climate trajectory, the future of life on Earth is in question, which poses a new question: should humans, whose fossil-fueled society is driving climate change, use technology to put the brakes on global warming?

 E-Mail NEW YORK, APRIL 5, 2021 -- Nine of the hottest years in human history have occurred in the last decade. Without a major shift in this climate trajectory, the future of life on Earth is in question. Should humans, whose fossil-fueled society is driving climate change, use technology to put the brakes on global warming? Every month since September 2019 the Climate Intervention Biology Working Group, a team of internationally recognized experts in climate science and ecology, has gather...

 E-Mail EAST LANSING, Mich. - Nine of the hottest years in human history have occurred in the past decade. Without a major shift in this climate trajectory, the future of life on Earth is in question, which poses a new question: Should humans, whose fossil fueled society is driving climate change, use technology to put the brakes on global warming? Michigan State University community ecologist Phoebe Zarnetske is co-lead of the Climate Intervention Biology Working Group, a team of internationa...

The research, published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment, shows that turning to the oceans for food if land-based farming fails after a nuclear war is unlikely to be a successful strategy – at least in the equatorial Pacific. “In our computer simulations, we see a 40 percent reduction in phytoplankton (algae) biomass in the equatorial Pacific, which would likely have downstream effects on larger marine organisms that people eat,” said lead author Joshua Coupe, a post-doc...

Share: CALGARY, Alberta, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As reported by Reuters, Dec. 18, 2020, the Bill Gates-funded Harvard solar dimming project has sparked unease in Sweden and elsewhere. Friends of Science Society is calling for a halt to the Harvard solar dimming project, slated to take place later in 2021 over Sweden. The project is intended to reduce global warming by introducing an artificial cloud of reflective aerosols. Friends of Science says solar dimming geoengineering present...

Your support of our work is inspiring and invaluable. New Risk of Atmospheric Aerosols as Sunscreen Using atmospheric aerosols to cut global warming is agreed to be risky. It might be even riskier to start it and then stop. By Tim Radford Geoengineering, spraying atmospheric aerosols as the technofix answer to a warming planet, has been repe...

Solar geoengineers would combat climate change with a haze of Sun-blocking aerosols. BenzA IMG/Alamy Stock Photo Geoengineers inch closer to Sun-dimming balloon test Dec. 15, 2020 , 10:00 AM For years, the controversial idea of solar geoengineering—lofting long-lived reflective particles into the upper atmosphere to block sunlight and diminish global warming—has been theoretical. It’s starting to get real: Today, after much technical and regulatory wrangling, Harvard University s...

Published 11 November 2020 A new study reveals the damage that a nuclear war might take on wild-caught seafood around the world, from salmon and tuna to the shrimp in shrimp cocktails. The aftermath of such a conflict could put a major strain on global food security, an international team of scientists reports. The group estimates that a nuclear war might cut the amount of seafood that fishing boats are capable of bringing in worldwide by as much as 30 percent. A new studyreveals the damage th...
