By Mark Harris, Wayt Gibbs Verified| Anthropocene Magazine Verified Few concepts have gone from science fiction to science news as swiftly as solar geoengineering (aka solar radiation management, or SRM).

By Wayt Gibbs Verified| Anthropocene Magazine Verified Politicians and activists like to talk about our “addiction” to fossil fuels, but carbon emissions resemble narcotics in another important way: Squeeze emissions out of production in one country, and they quickly pop up elsewhere, where rules are looser or carbon penalties are lower. Call it carbon whack-a-mole; policy wonks use the term “carbon leakage.”One way to plug these leaks is to slap taxes on imports based on the amount of carbon emitted in making them.
