Kommentare/ Inhalte: Climate engineering, the deliberate and large-scale intervention in the Earth’s climatic system, has been in discussion as an option to battle climate change for a few years now. This lecture will address this highly topical issue by introducing several options that are envisioned to be potentially deployed, with a clear focus on carbon dioxide removal. Strategies for solar radiation management will be presented briefly. Benefits and side effects from local to global scales will be shown for matter and energy fluxes. At the same time, the matter is highly controversial on an ethical level. Issues like governance, moral hazard and intergenerational justice will be succinctly addressed. Please note that the lecture management will be done in the MIN-Moodle. You will find all my announcements there, the lecture slides, additional information, and even a forum, where you can interactively discuss ideas and questions around climate engineering. The lecture will be completed by an exam, which will also be done digitally in the Moodle. To register, please visit the Moodle and log in with your Stine credentials. The course registration key is "net_srm_19".
