Solar geoengineering is taboo among politicians, scientists, and the IPCC. We will most likely have to dim the sun before climate goes off the rails. It is time to give the debate on climate policy a new twist that explores geoengineering as a stopgap solution to gain time for the transition into a post-fossil age. In his talk, Thomas reflects on...

• How solar geoengineering works
• Risks, unknowns and research needed to mitigate these risks
• Why we need a new global governance structure for geoengineering safeguarding the rights of climate-vulnerable countries
• How geoengineering should not justify burning fossil fuels
• Why we should start this debate today
