Climate engineering
Climate engineering
, also referred to as
geoengineering
or
climate intervention
, is the deliberate and large-scale intervention in the Earth’s
climatic system
with the aim of limiting adverse
climate change
. Climate engineering is an umbrella term for two types of measures:
carbon dioxide removal
and
solar radiation management
. Carbon dioxide removal addresses the cause of
climate change
by removing one of the
greenhouse gases
(
carbon dioxide
) from the
atmosphere
. Solar radiation management attempts to offset effects of greenhouse gases by causing the
Earth
to absorb less
solar radiation
.
