We’ve been hearing a lot lately about geoengineering – the various scientific theories and governance ideas that could eventually lead to technological interventions to help cool the planet. In fact, the academic sources that this story describes as “supporters” simply support the goal of further studying geoengineering.

Last week, MIT’s “Technology Review” reported that a small startup firm is proposing to spray reflective aerosols in the stratosphere commercially as a climate corrective. First, the cooling from the reflective materials they will inject, for which they are already selling carbon credits, charging $10 per gram of SO 2 released (!)

If cooling your house gets cheaper because you’re more energy efficiency, you might decide you can afford to keep your house even cooler. How all of this works out depends on which technologies end up in the lead, but every technology out there will require a lot of new mineral use.

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.

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.
