Abstract: Serious high-level discussions are taking place over research into engineering the earth's climate by reducing incoming solar radiation – so called solar radiation management (SRM). Influential bodies such as the United States Congress, the Royal Society, and others, have taken hard looks into SRM and are encouraging research into this broad set of technological responses to unabated, anthropogenic climate change. Most significantly, for the first time, the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will include assessments of SRM in its Fifth Assessment Report, due out in 2013 and 2014. This rapid expansion of high-level discussions and increased rates of research efforts will be accompanied by vigorous and contentious scientific, ethical and political debates.
