Separating CDR from Albedo Modification has been in the works for a long time — and I am hopeful that this report will definitively end the discussion of whether CDR falls under the geoengineering umbrella.
Not exact matches
Critics argue that albedo modification and other «geoengineering» schemes are risky and would discourage nations from trying to reduce their emissions of carbon dioxide, the heat - trapping gas that comes from the burning of fossil fuels and that is causing global warming by absorbing increasing amounts of energy from sunlight.
The below table from the NAS report highlights a number of key differences between CDR and Albedo Modification proposals.
The report on albedo modification draws from Long and Scott's (2013) work on vested interests in geoengineering research, identifying «the four Fs», or factors that should be considered in research design and execution.
In February, the National Academies of Science released two major reports on geoengineering, one on carbon dioxide removal technologies (to draw down carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and hence reduce the greenhouse effect) and the other on «albedo modification» or solar radiation management technologies (to reflect a fraction of sunlight back to space and thereby cool the planet).
