Dear all, I am overjoyed to share a report hot off the press published today from the Scientific Advice Mechanism to the European Commission. It looks at solar geoengineering including controversial options such as stratospheric aerosol injection, marine cloud brightening, cirrus cloud thinning and even outer space-based extraterrestrial interventions. Refreshingly, about half of the report deals with non-technical aspects such as law and policy, governance, social acceptance, and ethics. There is a scoping paper, scientific opinion document, and the full-fledged 230+ page evidence review report, all free at this link: https://scientificadvice.eu/advice/solar-radiation-modification/ <https://url.uk.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/_Td4CvZ9NF7OE1ByHQf0IQr0qW?domain=scientificadvice.eu/> Hats off to SAPEA for organizing such a talented and insightful expert group to work with. Also a shout out to colleagues Chad Baum, Livia Fritz, and Sean Low for their help in the role of “Science Writers.” Sincerely, Benjamin K.
