Pursuing Geoengineering For Atmospheric Restoration, James Salzman, Robert B. Jackson
Pursuing Geoengineering For Atmospheric Restoration, James Salzman, Robert B. Jackson
Faculty Scholarship
Geoengineering is fraught with problems, but research on three approaches could lead to the greatest climate benefits with the smallest chance of unintentional environmental harm. The authors propose a model for thinking about geoengineering based on the concept of restoration, suggesting the term “atmospheric restoration.” Under this model geoengineering efforts are prioritized based on three principles: to treat the cause of the disease itself, to reduce the chance of harm, and to prioritize activities with the greatest chance of public acceptance.
Based on these principles, the authors propose three forms of geoengineering that could provide the greatest climate benefits with …
