Dimming the Sun (Why We Need Geoengineering to Keep the World from Falling Apart)

“It would be great if humanity could forego solar geoengineering and get climate change under control before the world goes off the rails. I just don’t believe in that anymore.”

Many climate scientists believe 2023 was the hottest year in 120,000 years. Polar ice caps have been melting faster than models predicted. It seems the world is primed to surpass the Paris Agreement’s 2 degree warming threshold, the “tipping point” which will lead to climate disaster.

Enter solar geoengineering. Through methods such as the atmospheric injection of sulphur aerosol, the formation of human-generated cirrus clouds, or the use of solar sails in space, solar geoengineering offers a way to slow the warming of the earth caused by human-centered climate change. In Dimming 2

the Sun, science journalist Thomas Ramge argues that these ideas are as scientifically plausible as politically challenging. Ramge addresses:

• • What approaches could be used to dim the sun effectively and safely
• • What risks—both geophysical and political—come with attempting to dim the sun
• • How the international community might come together to agree on and regulate a plan for geoengineering

With clear language, tested science, and a calculated balance of realism and optimism, Thomas Ramge offers a crucial resource for understanding this
