Climate educators from SEWA explaining solar power for salt gathering (L) and skylights that cool the interior of a house (R). They have neither employers to provide benefits nor political parties to represent their interests. They largely work in their crowded homes (sometimes just 8x8), on small plots, or on the street.

There are significant political movements aligned around rejecting researching and discussing these interventions, let alone doing them. They could cool the Earth on average but not precisely undo the patterns of disruption from GHGs. Modeling and predicting the climate is a lot more feasible than doing the same for the weather.

Does the climate keep warming, stay the same, or even cool? What are the political implications of the fact that climate change will continue after emissions cease, or even potentially grow worse? Does this mean that we don’t need to worry about political backlash? Those kinds of impacts could provoke real political backlash.

According to the Energy Justice Law & Policy Center , $75 billion will be collected over the next 25 years to fund infrastructure adaptation and mitigation projects, such as public health programs, cooling systems to combat extreme heat, flood and drainage system upgrades, urban greening initiatives, and ecosystem protection efforts.

First, the cooling from the reflective materials they will inject, for which they are already selling carbon credits, charging $10 per gram of SO 2 released (!) Pinatubo, widely used as an analogy for SAI, put about 15M tons of sulfur aerosols in the stratosphere and cooled the Earth a little less than 1°C over the following year.

These areas experience higher temperatures relative to surrounding areas because they have a denser concentration of heat-trapping surfaces and limited green spaces that offer cooling benefits. Some themes that emerged were the lack of shading trees, vulnerable populations, the need to be creative when cooling, and issues related to water.

Political and social science must come to the fore to help develop effective responses to tipping events. This means redoubling efforts to cut emissions, and reliably constrain temperature rises, not gambling on speculative technological interventions to cool the planet. The missing knowledge is not primarily natural science.
