It's time to take solar geoengineering seriously, even though it seems outlandish
2016-09-12 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mashable: Solar geoengineering is nuts. That, at least, is the reaction of many who hear about it for the first time. And how can it not be? Serious scientists are talking about deliberately trying to reflect a small fraction of sunlight back to space in order to cool planet Earth. But calling it nuts is beside the point. The real question is: nuts compared to what? Isn't it insane to be pumping billions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere year after year, hoping it will be fine in the end?...

Guardian: A giant surge of investment in renewable energy has been sparked by what might be the last grants made by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency, as the parliament is poised to cut most of its funding. Large-scale solar will triple in size, with Arena today announcing the 12 winners of its $92m in grants, which together leverage more than $1bn investment from private companies. The purpose of the grants was to establish a self-sustaining industry of large solar farms, by building competitiveness,...

Australia awards funding for solar plants, set to triple capacity
2016-09-08 05:21:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The Australian government will help fund a dozen large-scale solar projects worth A$1 billion ($770 million), as it looks to boost the use of clean power in a coal-rich country, which is one of the world's biggest carbon emitters per head. The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) said on Thursday the projects would triple Australia's large-scale solar capacity to 720 megawatts, and deliver a tenth of the new capacity needed to meet its 2020 renewable energy target. The government will provide...
