Climate Reflections: The SRM360 podcast

In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

News Roundup: the next IPCC report, alternative aerosol particles, and more 31:28

In a contentious meeting in late February, the IPCC agreed on outlines that include discussions of SRM for its 7th assessment report. For the first time in IPCC history, the US was notably absent, having been banned from participation by the Trump administration. Meanwhile, Raymond Pierrehumbert and Michael Mann, two prominent climate scientists and critics of SRM argue that the UK government should pull the plug on their Advanced Research and Invention Agency - or Aria - which was created by an act of Parliament and intends to commit £56.8 million or about $73 million to projects that evaluate the feasibility, scalability, and safety of solar geoengineering ideas. In this monthly news roundup, Pete Irvine discusses these and other recent SRM-relevant developments with experts Sandro Vattioni, Post Doctoral Researcher in Atmospheric Physics at ETH Zurich, Alfonso Fernández, Full Professor of Physical Geography at Universidad de Concepción in Chile, Daniele Visioni, Assistant Professor of Earth and Atmospheric Science at Cornell University, and Tyler Felgenhauer, Senior Research Scientist at Duke University and the Duke Center on Risk.

SRM Governance with Cynthia Scharf 33:52

Cynthia Scharf has spoken with senior policy makers, UN officials, think tanks and NGOs across the world about climate change and sunlight reflection methods (SRM). Eight years ago, when she first began having these discussions, most people did not see SRM as a serious issue with implications for every country in the world. Now, they are interested. But as interest grows, the gap between the research community and policymakers' knowledge has also grown. Join our exclusive conversation with Cynthia Scharf, Senior Fellow at the Center for Future Generations, as she shares what policymakers are thinking about SRM and what information needs to be shared to enable transparency in this controversial space.

What we'll cover: At the end of January, the Arctic Ice Project - formerly Ice 911 - announced they were shutting down . Why? A new study came out this month that draws on focus groups and a survey across 22 countries asking the public who they trust when it comes to information about carbon dioxide removal and SRM. What were the findings? A new literature review identifies research gaps across the field of SRM. Thoughts on a recent paper about SRM transparency problems. A discussion of a recent study focused on how to govern Marine Cloud Brightening Famous scientist James Hansen's new piece , and what it means for SRM To discuss the latest SRM news, Climate Reflections Host Pete Irvine is joined by Viktor Jaakkola, Head of Scientific Collaboration at Operaatio Arktis; Michael Diamond, Assistant Professor of Meteorology and Environmental Science at Florida State University; and Rob Bellamy, Senior Lecturer in Climate and Society at the University of Manchester.

The Geopolitics of SRM 18:36

Climate change will disrupt the geopolitical landscape. So will Sunlight Reflection Methods (SRM). But might SRM help reduce international tensions by reducing the impacts of climate change? Or will these methods cause more or worse disruptions? For this episode of Climate Reflections, host Pete Irvine speaks with geopolitical experts to explore the current geopolitical landscape and how SRM might interact with it to impact international relations. Guests: Olaf Corry, Professor of Global Security Challenges at the University of Leeds, Beth Chalecki, Associate Professor of International Relations in the Political Science Department at the University of Nebraska, Omaha, and Josh Horton, Senior Program Fellow at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.

2024 was the hottest year on record . Could that change how policymakers think about SRM? How might the new administration in the US approach SRM? Do experts think countries will effectively develop international SRM regulations? We discuss a recent paper examining the topic, and find that the outlook is not optimistic. We also discuss another recent study which found that although SAI would cause some deaths, implementing SAI could still save hundreds of thousands of lives for every 1 degree C of cooling, thanks to its reduction in climate change-caused heat-related deaths. Finally, we explore a new book chapter on Cirrus cloud thinning, and answer a question from our listeners. To discuss the latest SRM news, Climate Reflections Host Pete Irvine is joined by Blaž Gasparini, a Senior Scientist at the University of Vienna in Austria, and an expert in Cirrus clouds, Claudia Wieners, an Assistant Professor in Climate Physics at Utrecht University in the Netherlands studying the impacts of Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) on Atlantic circulation, and Shuchi Talati, a climate technology governance expert and founder and Executive Director of the Alliance for Just Deliberation on Solar Geoengineering.

What is Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI)? 22:09

9 weeks temu22:09

On June 15th, 1991, the densely populated island of Luzon in the Philippines awoke to an explosion that would turn out to be the second largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century . Mount Pinatubo had erupted, releasing a huge cloud of volcanic ash, hundreds of kilometers across and 40 kilometers high. As satellites tracked the ash cloud spread around the globe several times over, atmospheric scientists noted that over the next year, the Earth's global temperature had decreased by as much as half a degree Celsius . The eruption had added around 17 million tons of sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere , a layer of the atmosphere between 10 and 50 kilometers above the surface. And this sulfur had gone on to form countless tiny aerosol particles. In the lower atmosphere, these particles would have been washed out in days, but because the stratosphere is dry and stable, these particles lasted for several years, reflecting light, and cooling the Earth. Could the climate cooling effect of this eruption be replicated as a way to help tackle climate change? In this episode, we focus on the basics of the sunlight reflection method known as Stratospheric Aerosol Injection, or SAI, an SRM idea that looks like it could offer a practical means of halting or even reversing global warming within a few years. What is SAI? What would it take to cool the planet? And who could do it?

Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.

Climate Reflections: An SRM360 podcast explores the science, ethics, and our current understanding of Sunlight Reflection Methods (SRM), also known as solar radiation modification, or solar geo-engineering. SRM are a set of methods being researched to reflect some sunlight back to space in order to cool the planet. This podcast will present the views of a wide range of experts working in this field and explore what we know, what we don't know, and the issues SRM raises. We’ll have two episodes a month. One will be our monthly News Roundup, where you’ll hear about all the SRM news over the last month, and the other will be our monthly themed podcast, where we’ll explore a wide range of SRM related topics.
