Once climate engineering is deployed, countries may be more likely to blame climate engineering for extreme events such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts, regardless of the evidence. The only known ...

The Cornell Program in Infrastructure Policy (CPIP) explores policy aspects of infrastructure deployment: design, construction, operation, maintenance, procurement, funding, financing, and recycling ...

Understand climate change beyond the headlines—how greenhouse gases, feedback loops, tipping points, & risk shape Earth’s climate.

As the Earth inches closer to 2°C of average warming above pre-industrial levels, some scientists aren’t just interested in how to cut emissions. They’re also interested in how to buy the planet more ...

For a couple decades, following along with climate engineering discussions could occasionally induce some déjà vu. The idea of intentionally messing with the climate system in order to counteract some ...

Wastewater treatment plants emit far more greenhouse gases—especially methane and nitrous oxide—than previously estimated, significantly contributing to climate change. Researchers analyzed ...
