Green light for research into engineering Earth’s climate, COP 15
Release Date: 2009-07-21
Manipulating the climate systems directly through geoengineering has been given a first scientific stamp of approval by the American Meteorological Society.
The American Meteorological Society is the first major scientific body to officially endorse research into geoengineering. In a policy statement, the society advocates that “geoengineering will not substitute for either aggressive mitigation or proactive adaptation, but it could contribute to a comprehensive risk management strategy to slow climate change and alleviate some of its negative impacts”.
