Climate Intervention
Whiteboard Videos (2023)
These four short animated videos are designed to describe climate intervention research for a general audience. They highlight collaborative research conducted by the Hurrell, Barnes, and Keys research groups. I additionally wrote a post for the Seasoned Chaos blog describing these videos, including some background information about the creative process.
For further information about climate intervention, we point viewers to the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine report and the American Meteorological Society position statement.
What is climate intervention?
The scenarios used for computer simulations help researchers to understand how design choices may affect the future.
An overview of potential impacts and risks of “collective actor” scenarios where stratospheric aerosol injection is hypothetically used by the global community to maintain or reduce temperature.
The variability of the climate poses challenges for rapid detection and societal perception of any intervention.
