Solar Power!

Having assessed the opportunities that carbon reduction methods uphold in response to the ever increasing global warming... I think it is safe to assume that proposals so far are still very much hypotheses, and none are yet ready to be deployed across the globe (at least on the large scale in the case of biochar)- not to mention the fact that some responses cannot resist against rapid changes in climate, and lets face it, we need emergency answers and pronto.

Luckily, carbon reduction methods aren't the only answer; solar reduction methods are a second category of geoengineering proposals, aimed to respond to recent anthropogenic climate changes.

Solar radiation methods differ from carbon reduction methods as they are not designed to remove any atmospheric carbon concentrations but instead reduce the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth, which is enhancing global warming.

The following posts will explore the different proposed methods of solar radiation management to ultimately allow us to draw a comparison against carbon reduction methods!

Here's a teaser trailer of what is yet to come! (As you can see there still remains controversy regarding the issues of climate change and global warming!)
