HeyJaredReviewer 2 does geoengineering
Reviewer 2 quibbles with actual experts in Solar Radiation Modification and Carbon Dioxide Removal, before rejecting their work on spurious, spiteful and capricious grounds. You'd expect nothing less from R2.

How Much CO₂ Can Enhanced Weathering Really Remove? - Derry (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cornell University geochemist Louis Derry joins @geoengineering1 to discuss a fundamental question for enhanced rock weathering: how much of the alkalinity generated in soils actually makes it through watersheds to the ocean? Derry argues that many studies and commercial MRV approaches focus on the top 10-30 cm of soil, potentially missing critical processes along the full flow path, including ion exchange in acidic soils, secondary clay formation, acidity generation and carbonate precipitation,
Extratropical Cyclones and Storm Track Responses to SAI - Wieners & de Nooij (opens the original)
Read excerpt
@geoengineering1 interviews Claudia Elisabeth Wieners and Meike de Nooij about extratropical cyclones, the winter storm systems that drive much of the weather variability and many extreme wind and precipitation events in the midlatitudes, and how stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) could alter their tracks and associated weather extremes. They discuss what makes extratropical cyclones different from tropical cyclones, why SAI could affect storm tracks, and what their high-resolution modelling
Suicide Impacts of SRM - Tanaka (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Could reducing sunlight to cool the planet also affect mental health? @geoengineering1 interviews Shinsuke Tanaka about new research examining the link between sunlight and suicide and what it could mean for solar radiation management (SRM). Using nearly three decades of U.S. county-month data, Tanaka and colleagues find that sustained reductions in sunlight significantly increase suicide rates. They estimate that a 1.5°C SRM scenario could result in around 3,810 additional U.S. suicides between
Influence of Surface Roughness on ERW - Kukla (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How much carbon can enhanced rock weathering actually remove? In this episode, @geoengineering1 talks with Tyler Kukla of CarbonPlan about how assumptions about rock surface roughness can dramatically change enhanced weathering estimates. They discuss why surface area is critical to weathering rates, how commonly used roughness calculations can overestimate available surface area, and what this means for modeled CO₂ removal. The conversation also explores the differences between surface-area- an
Aerosol Warming Over Bright Surfaces - Kapoor (opens the original)
Read excerpt
@geoengineering1 interviews Taveen Kapoor about his study [preprint] showing that purely scattering stratospheric aerosols can produce positive shortwave radiative forcing, and localized warming, over high-albedo surfaces such as snow, ice, and deserts. They discuss how diffuse light reflected from bright surfaces travels farther through the aerosol layer, increasing the likelihood of backscattering toward the surface. They also discuss why multi-angle radiative-transfer calculations reveal stro
