Solar geoengineering as a legitimate strategy? Interview with Orri Stefánsson on Swedish radio
H. Orri Stefánsson was interviewed about solar geoengineering—a proposed strategy to deflect sunlight away from earth in order to counteract global warming—on the podcast Livet vid 2,5 grader (Life at 2.5 degrees) by Swedish public radio. Is it possible to make legitimate decisions about solar geoengineering, given that it would impact the entire globe and everyone living on it? Solar geoengineering entails such a radical intervention in the Earth’s atmosphere that identifying and predicting the associated risks would be nearly impossible. How can we weigh these unknown unknowns against the potential benefits?
