Climate Engineering: Can the Economic Costs Outweigh the Benefits?

? Introduction: The world has been facing severe climate challenges such as heatwaves, floods, and droughts. A significant part of these problems is caused by the increase in global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions since the Industrial Revolution. The emission of GHGs has been increasing at a significant rate, contributing to global warming and climate change. Climate engineering or geoengineering is one of the proposed solutions to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change. Climate engineering refers to the deliberate large-scale manipulation of the earth's climate system to counteract the effects of climate change. However, the potential economic costs and ethical considerations of climate engineering are still a matter of debate. In this article, we will explore how climate engineering can affect the environment, economies, and societies, and whether the economic costs can outweigh the benefits. Types of Climate Engineering Technology: Solar Radiation Management (SRM): Solar...
