Should there be a ‘non-use’ agreement on solar geoengineering?

Legal Planet

Don’t fund technology development. Don’t issue patents for technologies. Don’t deploy the technologies. The recent announcements from ‘Make Sunsets’ that they are selling ‘cooling credits’ based on an untested and unverified form of solar geoengineering has generated condemnation from all sides.

Climatology: The Science of Global Weather Systems over the Long Term

Environmental Science

Climatology, or sometimes known as climate science, is the study of the Earth's weather patterns and the systems that cause them. Known as ENSO, they are opposite effects of the same process and are defined as an oscillation (a variation in magnitude) between the temperature of the atmosphere and the ocean. What Climatology Is.

Physics: The Science of the Universe and Everything In It

Environmental Science

Today, it overlaps with many other sciences and has had a profound impact on the environmental sciences just as chemistry has. It also underpins the physical sciences by providing the theoretical framework on which it may base its own assumptions and basic theoretical models. How Physics Applies to Environmental Science.

Geology: Examining the Planet’s Physical Processes

Environmental Science

Modern geology uses a wide range of traditional and technological methods, making it even more accurate and able to produce more data, faster and more accurately than ever before. Used for locating small pockets, the technology is ground-based and examines areas of no more than an acre or two. Sponsored Content. Methods in Geology.

The Fuss about Methane

Legal Planet

First, underwater – in the sediments on the bottom of swamps, lakes, and the ocean. The issue is that total human radiative forcing includes several parts that heat and some that cool, so counting separate heating contributions like this leaving out the cooling parts gives too much heating.).

Deserts as Ecosystems and Why They Need Protecting

Environmental Science

There may also be an extreme variation between warm and cool seasons, including extreme winds and storms due to the mixing of cold and warm air. It's a great source of examining technologies from the simple to the complex, of acquiring, harnessing, storing and preserving water and its supply. Sponsored Content. Types of Desert.
