Le débat sur la modification du rayonnement solaire s'est élargi ces dernières années, mais il n'y a pas encore eu de progrès significatifs sur les mécanismes internationaux qui la régissent, déclare Oliver Morton, rédacteur en chef de "Economist", dans ce "C2GTalk". Il ajoute : Je ne veux pas d'un monde où la géoingénierie solaire serait utilisée quoi qu'il arrive, mais je ne veux pas non plus que les générations futures regardent en arrière et disent : "J'aurais aimé qu'ils y réfléchissent un peu plus en profondeur".

The debate around solar radiation modification has broadened in recent years, but there has not yet been significant progress on international mechanisms to govern it, says Economist senior editor Oliver Morton in this C2GTalk. He adds: "I don't want a world with solar geoengineering come what may, but I also don't want future generations to look back and say, 'I wish they’d thought about this just a bit more thoroughly.'"
Oliver Morton previously worked at Nature and Wired and contributed to a range of other publications, including The New York Times and Science. He is the author of Mapping Mars: Science, Imagination and the Birth of a World; Eating the Sun: How Plants Power the Planet; The Planet Remade: How Geoengineering Could Change the World; and The Moon: A History for the Future. Asteroid 10716 Olivermorton is named in his honor.
