Wondering what is the main issue we will address during Gaps in Air? Read this short take out on climate geoengineering from Guardian as a prep for our upcoming articles. Feel free to share your thoughts on the topic in the comments below.

Intervening in climate change currently raises more questions than answers when it comes to manipulating the atmosphere, writes Nicola Davis

In the spirit of our upcoming event, here is something to think about:

" Geoengineering - the deliberate, large-scale manipulation of the earth's climate to offset global warming - is a nightmare fix for climate change."
-Jeff Goodell (author and contributing editor to Rolling Stone)-

Celebrating Earth Day with an excerpt from one of the speakers at the "Gaps in Air" event, Jesse Reynolds' paper "Climate Engineering Field Research: The Favorable
Setting of International Environmental Law".
"Existent international environmental law generally favors field-tests, in large part because, even though field trials may present uncertain risks to humans and the environment, climate engineering may reduce the greater risks of climate change.

None of the existing environmental law was developed with climate engineering in mind and it consequently forms an inconsistent, sometimes contradictory legal environment. Furthermore, drawing general conclusions is difficult, as the actual rights and obligations of States will depend on numerous factors such as the form of climate engineering being researched, its scale, its location, and the likelihood, magnitude, and location of potential trans boundary effects."
