🚨 @UKRI_News & @NERCscience is investing £10 million in four NEW research projects, launching this month as part of a 5-year programme—Modelling Environmental Responses to Solar Radiation Management (#SRM)—to assess the risks, limitations & trade-offs of SRM.

DETAILS:🧵1/8 2/ Project 1: Holistic Risk Assessment of SRM

Led by @imperialcollege, @BristolUni, @UniversityLeeds & @UniofExeter

The team will develop a new framework combining Earth system modelling with social & political analysis to better assess risks & trade-offs of SRM—especially #SAI

🚨🌋 A new UCLA-led study reveals surprising findings about the 2022 Hunga Tonga—Hunga Haʻapai underwater volcanic eruption. Despite fears it would push global temps past 1.5°C, it actually cooled the Southern Hemisphere by 0.1°C!

Here's why:🧵1/8
#SolarGeoengineering #Aerosols 2/ When Hunga Tonga erupted in January 2022, scientists expected the massive release of water vapor to trigger warming, but a key factor shifted: The eruption produced smaller sulfate aerosols that unexpectedly cooled the atmosphere!

🚨How do political affiliations shape attitudes toward #SolarGeoengineering?🚨

A conjoint experiment with 2,123 US voters finds that partisanship outweighs message framing—meaning who delivers the message matters more than what the message says.

🚨A breakthrough in carbon storage!🚨

Scientists at @NorthwesternU have developed a NEW carbon-negative building material using seawater, electricity & CO₂.

How does it work? And how much CO₂ can it store? Read on:🧵1/12 2/ This study expands on earlier research that focuses on storing CO2 in concrete [nature.com/articles/s4324…] & using electricity to treat seawater for cementing marine soils [nature.com/articles/s4324…].
Researchers are now injecting CO2 while applying electricity to seawater in lab.

🚨A new hope or a phantom menace?🚨

A global survey of 30,000+ people across 30 countries reveals how emotions—hope, fear, anger—shape perceptions of climate change & support for interventions like #CDR & #SRM.

Does hope drive action—or is fear the real motivator? Read on:🧵1/8 2/ To measure “climate emotions” globally, researchers (@ChadM_Baum, Elina Brutschin, Livia Fritz, @BenjaminSovaco1) from Aarhus University & IIASA surveyed adults in 19 languages from Aug–Dec 2022.

Here are some of the findings:

4/ Findings revealed that:

Under SAI, global temperatures would be lower than in the SSP2-4.5 climate change scenario.

This affects malaria transmission by shifting EIR toward lower intensity values—meaning fewer infectious mosquito bites.

*Cooler climate = lower EIR
5/ The length of the malaria transmission season (LTS) and overall malaria cases are also projected to decline under SAI compared to SSP2-4.5. This suggests SAI could mitigate some malaria risks associated with warming climates.

🚨🦟Could Solar Geoengineering Reduce Malaria?🦟🚨

A new study funded by @DegreesNGO suggests Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (#SAI) could lower malaria risk in South Asia by shortening transmission seasons & lowering mosquito infectivity.

DETAILS🧵1/8 2/ Rising temps are expanding malaria-prone areas. This study examined malaria risk in 7 climate-vulnerable South Asian countries—Afghanistan, India, Iran, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal & Pakistan—under moderate climate change (SSP2-4.5) vs. a cooler world with SAI (ARISE-SAI-1.5).

DETAILS:🧵1/9 2/ The study, published in Global Change Biology, analyzed 16 years of data from the Sardinilla experiment in Panama.

Researchers planted forests with 1, 2, 3, or 5 tree species and tracked how carbon moved through the ecosystem.

🚨The Big Green Button: Who Gets to Push It?

"Geoengineering isn't just a climate issue—it's a geopolitical chess game. Only US & China have power to unilaterally deploy #SAI at scale."

Will they race to control skies or seek climate diplomacy? New study explores 4 futures🧵1/9 2/ SAI could cool the planet—but who controls it controls global climate security.

Key risks of unilateral deployment:
🔴 Termination shock
🔴 Environmental disruptions
🔴 SAI as a potential weapon
🔴 Geopolitical leverage—both a threat & opportunity
