🌍London War Game Simulates Geoengineering Arms Race

Geoengineering: The Next Arms Race?

A war game in London simulated a global race to develop solar geoengineering tech, aimed at cooling the planet. The simulation, involving experts from around the world, highlighted the risks of an uncontrolled race to reshape Earth's climate. The game unfolded over three points in time, with each step increasing the stakes and revealing the complexities of international cooperation. The exercise underscored the need for early governance decisions, as private firms like Stardust Solutions and tech giants like SpaceX explore commercial opportunities. The simulation also raised concerns about the potential for an arms race, with distrust and poor communication complicating international efforts to manage such technologies.
