TED-Ed: 1816: The year with no summer | David Biello

The video discusses the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora and its global climatic impact, known as the Year Without Summer. It explores geoengineering as a potential solution to climate change, focusing on solar radiation management. While these methods could cool the planet, they pose significant risks and uncertainties. Current research includes small-scale experiments, but the primary focus remains on reducing emissions and removing CO2. Geoengineering might be a last resort, but it requires careful consideration due to its potential for unintended consequences.
