Solar-Geoengineering zielt darauf ab, die Atmosphäre unseres Planeten zu verändern, um das Sonnenlicht besser zu reflektieren. Anstatt den Treibhauseffekt selbst abzuschwächen, soll die Menge des Sonnenlichts verringert werden, das überhaupt in die Treibhauserde eindringt. Gernot Wagner, Geschäftsführer des Harvard-Forschungsprogramms Solar-Geoengineering, erläutert die Grundlagen, den Forschungsstand sowie die Chancen und Gefahren dieser Idee.
Solar Geoengineering seeks nothing less than to modify the atmosphere of our planet in order to make it more reflective to sunlight. Gernot Wagner, the executive director of Harvard’s Solar Geoengineering Research Program, explains the basic principles, the state of research as well as the opportunities and dangers of this idea.
