Abstract

This programme aims to answer fundamental questions as to the practicality, measurability, controllability and possible (side-)effects of such approaches through indoor and (where necessary) small, controlled, outdoor experiments. In answering these questions, we plan to fund not only the experiments themselves, but also the necessary modelling, simulation, observation and monitoring required to support the experiments, as well as research into the ethical, governance, law, and geopolitical dimensions of the approaches under investigation. Our objective is that the information gathered by this programme will allow for more definitive assessments on whether one or more of the approaches examined may one day be used responsibly and ethically to delay or avert the onset of temperature-induced climate tipping points.
