Although Geoengineering our climate (See NASA’s Dynamic Earth video describing Earth’s climate below) might seem unthinkable, human civilization has been intensely modifying our climate and environment for well over a century. Climate engineering, to mitigate the build-up of atmospheric carbon dioxide due to the use of fossil fuels, has been a focus of scientists since the 1960s (Keith, 2000). The unfortunate truth is that Climate Change and Global Warming are devastating our planet and geoengineering appears to be a necessary solution to prevent further damage such as sea-level rise, Arctic warming, loss of glaciers, record temperatures, severe drought, superstorms, increased wildfires, coral reef and marine seabird die-offs, and climate-related extinctions. In our civilization’s effort to find a solution to Climate Change and Global Warming, geoengineering should not be considered the only solution, but rather an important part of a comprehensive, integrated, international program that mitigates the effects of Global Warming and addresses the root causes of Climate Change (i.e., carbon dioxide emissions, consumptive lifestyles, human population growth, unsustainable practices, degradation of natural ecosystems, etc.).
