Safety First: A Roadmap for Evaluating Interventions in the Atmosphere
A model is only as good as the observations used to build and test it. A projection of future conditions is only as credible as the baseline and ongoing record it is measured against. Observation is what grounds every other kind of research in evidence, from modeling to laboratory work to field experiments.
The Montreal Protocol's Quiet Power (And What It Could Do Next) — SilverLining
The Montreal Protocol continues its powerful progress. I recently attended the Montreal Protocol Meeting of the Parties (MOP). It was an inspiring lesson in global cooperation and effective outcomes. Every country attended, with opening remarks from China, the U.S, Ukraine and Palestine. A Model of Global Cooperation It’s a quiet, calm environment— no trade show floor, no celebrities, no private jets and no fundraisers.
The atmosphere is becoming a battleground. America must lead on safety. Original
I understand why millions of Americans look up at the sky with concern. Videos of unusual cloud formations circulate on social media, accompanied by questions about “chemtrails” and secret weather modification programs. While concerns often reflect misunderstandings about ordinary aircraft contrails and natural atmospheric phenomena, the underlying instinct — that something may be happening in our atmosphere that we don’t know enough about — is not exactly wrong.
State of Climate Tech 2025
Welcome back to Wicked Problems - Climate Tech Conversations. We’ve been out and about this week to get a sense of the state of climate tech, so we snuck into the Climate Impact Summit at the symbolic Royal Institution - where a big chunk of the Industrial Revolution was invented - to listen to dozens of conversations. Has the “vibe shift” killed off “climate tech”?
SilverLining Unveils Interactive Roadmap for Research and to Advance Understanding of Near-Term Climate Risk and Intervention — SilverLining
WASHINGTON, DC, December 11, 2024 - Today, SilverLining released an interactive roadmap for the essential research and innovation required to improve understanding of near-term climate risks and proposed approaches to reflecting sunlight to cool the climate. Near-term Climate Risk and Intervention: A Roadmap for Research and Innovationcharts a path forward to improve society’s information and options for near-term climate responses within 5 years.
In the climate red zone, the US and EU are considering urgent interventions
Brown skies over Europe and North America from Canadian wildfires and record “hot” North Atlantic seas are signs that we have reached a new level of climate risk — one that threatens the well-being of nearly everyone on Earth. Threats described in stark terms by the United Nations and by scientific and foreign affairs experts were underscored by global average surface temperatures briefly passing 1.5 degrees Celsius, a threshold for intensified danger, in early June.
In the climate red zone, the US and EU are considering urgent interventions
Petrolheads, when it comes right down to it, are called petrolheads for a reason. It's not simply that they adore driving and tinkering with cars (though, of course, they do), it's that many of them are enthralled by something very specific: the roar of a powerful engine, the smell of the gas. Are we destined to enjoy less and less of this iconic sensory blend in the future, as electric vehicles rise to prominence?

Climate intervention research: An insurance policy for near-term climate risks
Every country from around the world recently gathered for the recent UN climate summit COP27 to press forward on climate action, but are struggling to achieve their goals. Aggressive emissions reduction continues to be imperative, but no level of emissions reduction can counter the warming effects of greenhouse gases that are already in the atmosphere. In every scenario for climate change, Earth will continue to warm for the next 30 to 40 years.
Reflecting Sunlight Could Ensure Safety on a Warming Planet
Earth has a 50-50 chance of warming 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels in the next five years, according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization. Climate change has reached a dangerous place. The climate is on track to warm 2.7 to 3 degrees Celsius (4.9 to 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit) from pre-industrial times, with devastating consequences for human safety and well-being.
The U.S. National Academy Of Sciences Report Recommends A Federal Research Program On Climate Intervention Strategies That Reflect Sunlight To Cool Earth: What Does It Mean? - SilverLining
By Kelly Wanser, Executive Director, SilverLining, and Alex Wong, Research Director, SilverLining In our escalating climate emergency, research on approaches that influence natural processes to rapidly reduce greenhouse gases or warming in the atmosphere (sometimes called "climate intervention" or "geoengineering") has become more important, perhaps critically so.
What Bill Gates Has to Say About Climate Intervention in His New Book: "How To Avoid A Climate Disaster" — SilverLining
As I was reading through Bill Gates' new book, How to Avoid a Climate Disaster, over the past week, I was encouraged by his interest in the potential of climate intervention as means to address near-term climate risks, avoid a major climate catastrophe, and protect vulnerable populations worldwide.
