Aria plan reignites geoengineering controversy

Rachel Magee writes about the new ARIA [Advanced Research and Innovation Agency] and their focus on climate repair approaches, which aims to fund research into geoengineering. ARIA's proposal to explore geoengineering, including solar radiation management and carbon dioxide removal, has reignited debate among scientists and policymakers. While some argue that geoengineering could provide critical solutions to climate change, others express concerns about its ethical, environmental, and geopolitical implications. Critics warn against the potential risks and unintended consequences of manipulating the Earth's climate. The article highlights the need for thorough assessment and regulation of geoengineering research to ensure responsible and ethical practices. The ARIA plan underscores the complex challenges and ethical dilemmas inherent in addressing climate change through technological interventions.
