Climate Reflections dives into the world of sunlight reflection methods, also known as solar geoengineering: a set of ideas to reflect a small amount of sunlight back to space to help counteract global warming. This may sound like science fiction, but it’s an idea that scientists really are studying. Join podcast host Peter Irvine, a sunlight reflection scientist, to explore what different ideas are being studied to reflect sunlight, what impact they might have, and what is going on in the w ...

What we'll cover: At the end of January, the Arctic Ice Project - formerly Ice 911 - announced they were shutting down. Why? A new study came out this month that draws on focus groups and a survey across 22 countries asking the public who they trust when it comes to information about carbon dioxide removal and SRM. What were the findings? A new lit…

Climate change will disrupt the geopolitical landscape. So will Sunlight Reflection Methods (SRM). But might SRM help reduce international tensions by reducing the impacts of climate change? Or will these methods cause more or worse disruptions? For this episode of Climate Reflections, host Pete Irvine speaks with geopolitical experts to explore th…

2024 was the hottest year on record. Could that change how policymakers think about SRM? How might the new administration in the US approach SRM? Do experts think countries will effectively develop international SRM regulations? We discuss a recent paper examining the topic, and find that the outlook is not optimistic. We also discuss another recen…

On June 15th, 1991, the densely populated island of Luzon in the Philippines awoke to an explosion that would turn out to be the second largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century. Mount Pinatubo had erupted, releasing a huge cloud of volcanic ash, hundreds of kilometers across and 40 kilometers high. As satellites tracked the ash cloud spread ar…
