The scientists said the risks and benefits of solar radiation modification (SRM) \u2013 also known as solar geoengineering \u2013 were \u201chighly uncertain\u201d. They called for an EU-wide moratorium on using it as a way to offset global heating.<\/p>\n<p>SRM technologies can cool the planet by reducing the amount of sunlight hitting the Earth. Supporters say they should be studied as global temperatures shoot ever closer to the limit of 1.5C (2.7F) above preindustrial levels that world leaders promised to stick to. Critics argue that geoengineering does not address the root problem of heat-trapping pollutants that smother the Earth \u2013 making them at best a temporary fix while they are in use \u2013 and say they could also wreak havoc on the weather.<\/p>\n<p>Monday\u2019s report, authored by the Group of Chief Scientific Advisors to the European Commission, found the \u201cdeep uncertainties\u201d of solar geoengineering were inconsistent with the EU\u2019s precautionary principle and its responsibility to do no harm. The group\u2019s top recommendation was to cut greenhouse gas pollution as the main way to avoid \u201cdangerous\u201d levels of climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2024\/dec\/09\/eu-should-ban-space-mirrors-and-other-solar-geoengineering-warn-scientists\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-639\/\">EU should ban space mirrors and other solar geoengineering, scientists say<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,274,1968,17246],"class_list":["post-135947","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-eu","tag-geoengineering","tag-space-mirror"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135947","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135947"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135947\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135947"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135947"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135947"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
