Lad os overveje geoengineering, siger klimaforfatteren
Lad os da overveje geoengineering, siger klimaforfatteren
Begrebet geoengineering er af og til oppe at vende. Kan mennesket på en eller anden smart måde lave overlagte indgreb i Jordens klimasystem for at mindske virkningerne af klimaforandringerne? Den amerikanske forfatter Kim Stanley Robinson må vi indrømme, at vi ikke har læst så meget af, men Huffington Post kalder ham ”kongen af klimafiktion” i dette interview, hvor han anbefaler, at man begynder at tage geoengineering mere alvorligt. Og den mest oplagte idé er ifølge ham at smide ”støv-agtige partikler ind i atmosfæren med henblik på at mime vulkanudbrud, så de globale temperaturer vil falde en smule i de følgende år”.

TOPSHOT - This handout photograph obtained July 16, 2018, courtesy of the US Geological Survey (USGS), shows laze plumes rising where lava pours into the sea on the south margin of the fissure 8 flow of the K?lauea volcano, July 15, 2018 in Hawaii. A projectile from the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii struck a boat July 6, 2018 carrying people watching lava from the two- month-old eruption, injuring 23, the fire department said. Thirteen of them required hospitalization and the rest were treated at a harbor when the boat engaged in a "lava tour" returned to the Big Island, also known as Hawaii. The eruption has destroyed hundreds of homes since it began May 3, 2018. Kilauea is one of the world's most active volcanos and one of five on the island. / AFP PHOTO / US Geological Survey / HO / == RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE / MANDATORY CREDIT: "AFP PHOTO / US GEOLOGICAL SURVEY" / NO MARKETING / NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS / DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS ==
