The Asilomar Conference on Climate Intervention Technologies

The Asilomar Conference on Climate Intervention Technologies, held in 2010, was a gathering of scientists and policymakers to discuss the potential use of technologies that could intentionally modify Earth's climate to combat climate change. The conference emphasized careful research, ethical considerations, and international cooperation before deploying any geoengineering methods—like spraying aerosols in the atmosphere—highlighting the importance of understanding risks and unintended consequences to ensure safe and responsible use of such technologies.
