"Climate change, former US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson once said, is “an engineering problem, and it has engineering solutions.” Following President Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Agreement on climate, an idea has been catching on among Republican politicians and climate researchers alike – geoengineering. In other words: What if we reversed global warming simply by redesigning the atmosphere?"

"Technologies for Solar Radiation Management (SRM) could limit global warming by manipulating the Earth’s radiation balance. A major objection to SRM is the termination problem: the catastrophic consequences that are likely to result from its sudden discontinuation. The termination problem limits the reversibility of policy choices and poses the risk of inadvertent or enforced program collapse."

"WASHINGTON – The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is forming a new committee to develop a research agenda and research governance approaches for climate-intervention strategies that reflect sunlight to cool Earth."

"Geoengineering refers to a set of emerging technologies that could manipulate the environment and partially offset some of the impacts of climate change. Solar geoengineering in particular could not be a replacement for reducing emissions (mitigation) or coping with a changing climate (adaptation); yet, it could supplement these efforts."
