Climate modification directed by control theory

TL;DR

This paper explores how control theory can guide the design of climate modification strategies, emphasizing that such measures should be a last resort due to their systemic implications.

Contribution

It introduces a control theory framework for designing climate modification measures and highlights their limitations as a last-ditch solution.

Findings

Control theory provides systematic guidance for climate regulation.

Climate modification should be considered only as a last-ditch measure.

The control analysis reveals systemic constraints on climate interventions.

Abstract

Climate modification measures to counteract global warming receive some more new attentions in these years. Most current researches only discuss the impact of these measures to climate, but how to design such a climate regulator is still unknown. This paper shows the control theory could give the systematic direction for climate modification. But the control analyzing also reveals that climate modifications should only be regarded as a last-ditch measure.
