An overview of the Earth system science of solar geoengineering
Solar geoengineering has been proposed as a means to cool the Earth by increasing the
reflection of sunlight back to space, for example, by injecting reflective aerosol particles (or …

Flood damage costs under the sea level rise with warming of 1.5 C and 2 C
We estimate a median global sea level rise up to 52 cm (25–87 cm, 5th–95th percentile) and
up to 63 cm (27− 112 cm, 5th—95th percentile) for a temperature rise of 1.5 C and 2.0 C by …
