Climate Reflections: The SRM360 Podcast
Climate Reflections dives into the world of sunlight reflection methods, also known as solar geoengineering: a set of ideas to reflect a small amount of sunlight back to space to help counteract global warming. This may sound like science fiction, but it’s an idea that scientists really are studying.
Join podcast host Peter Irvine, a sunlight reflection scientist, to explore what different ideas are being studied to reflect sunlight, what impact they might have, and what is going on in the world today related to sunlight reflection research.

News Roundup: History of SRM
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 is a production of SRM360, a non-profit knowledge hub supporting an informed, evidence-based discussion of sunlight reflection methods. For more information and the latest research on SRM, visit SRM360.org.
