Talking about how terrestrial biodiversity will be affected under a solar modification scenario (SRM) at Global Forum Degrees at Cape Town #DGF2025
I’m at the largest-ever conference on Solar Radiation Modification aka solar geoengineering which (conveniently) is in my home city of Cape Town. Learning a lot & looking forward to writing interesting stuff!
