Solar Geoengineering, Climate Mitigation, Green TechnologyAbstract
This article examines the relevance of the research on solar geo-engineering, which has become the new buzz-word in climate change mitigation. With current climate mitigation policies becoming evidently inadequate, one needs to look at science for the panacea. Solar geoengineering is a double-edged sword, capable of giving desirable results in the near future but equally capable of multiplying the complexities of the problem in long term future. There continue to exist certain deep-rooted concerns about the necessity and end-use consequences of this technology. The article attempts to examine both these facets. It also throws light on the concerns of indigenous communities and the principle of intergenerational justice with respect to the conduct of solar geoengineering research. The article ends with a conclusion which aims at giving a balanced solution to the research question.
