TED-Ed: 1816: The year with no summer | David Biello

The video discusses the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora and its global climatic impact, known as the Year Without Summer. It explores geoengineering as a potential solution to climate change, focusing on solar radiation management. While these methods could cool the planet, they pose significant risks and uncertainties. Current research includes small-scale experiments, but the primary focus remains on reducing emissions and removing CO2. Geoengineering might be a last resort, but it requires careful consideration due to its potential for unintended consequences.

What actions are suggested to address the challenges posed by climate change?

Why is it important to study geoengineering despite its risks?

In what ways has climate change been described as an unintended geoengineering project?
