Host Pete Irvine is joined by SRM researchers Lili Xia, Chris Lennard, and Tyler Felgenhauer for a live recording from the American Geophysical Union conference in Washington D.C. They discuss the latest SRM news including: the New York Times article on U.S. efforts to develop an early warning system to detect SRM deployment; Florida senator Ileana Garcia's bill to ban all "weather modification" activities; takeaways from the UNFCCC COP related to SRM; the latest research on the impacts of SAI to human health; the European Commission's chief scientific advisory recommendations on SRM; and more!

In our first themed episode of the Climate Reflections podcast, we present many different viewpoints from around the world on the role and risks of sunlight reflection methods (SRM) - proposals to reflect some of the sun's light back to space in order to cool the planet.

For this first News Roundup episode of Climate Reflections, we look back over the entire history of SRM and ahead to its future. For this, we are joined by 4 great guests with extensive experience working on this topic:

• Inés Camilloni, a Professor at the Department of Atmospheric and Ocean Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires and a Vice-Chair of the Intergovernmental panel on climate change’s working group on physical science.
• Govindasamy Bala, a Professor at the Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the Indian Institute of Science who has worked on SRM longer than almost any other researcher, publishing his first article on this topic 24 years ago.
• Oliver Morton, the Senior and Briefings editor at the Economist who has written extensively about SRM, including in his excellent 2016 book “The Planet Remade”
• Cynthia Scharf, a senior fellow at the International Center for Future Generations, where she leads their work on SRM. She was previously senior strategy director for the Carnegie Climate Governance (C2G) Initiative, and served in the Office of the UN Secretary-General as the head of strategic climate communications.

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.
