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 gathered remotely to bring science to bear on that question and the consequences of geoengineering a cooler Earth by reflecting a portion of the sun s radiation away from the planet a climate intervention strategy known as solar radiation modification (SRM).
