The debate around solar radiation modification has broadened in recent years, but there has not yet been significant progress on international mechanisms to govern it, says "Economist" senior editor Oliver Morton in this "C2GTalk." He adds: "I don't want a world with solar geoengineering come what may, but I also don't want future generations to look back and say, 'I wish they’d thought about this just a bit more thoroughly.'"
