Artifically postponing climate change…but at what other costs?
WHAT IS GEOENGINEERING—AND WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?: In the following decades, the concept occasionally popped up in research papers and at scientific conferences, but it didn’t gain much attention until the late summer of 2006, when Paul Crutzen, a Nobel Prize-winning atmospheric chemist, called for geoengineering research in an article in Climatic Change. In the years since Crutzen’s paper, more researchers have studied geoengineering, mainly using computer simulations or small lab experiments to explore whether it would really work, how it might be done, what sorts of particles could be used, and what environmental side effects it might produce.
