From:
In a feature by Gizmodo, Columbia Business School Professor Gernot Wagner points out that while solar geoengineering strategies, itself an arena of emerging climate-economics research, could cool the planet, the real world of “dimming the sun” is far messier than most models assume. He highlights engineering, logistical and governance obstacles which mean the approach “isn’t going to happen the way that 99 percent of these papers model.” The mention brings forward Columbia’s leadership in investigating how economics, policy and technology intersect in high-stakes climate interventions.
