Impacts of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering strategy on Caribbean coral reefs [PDF]
International Journal of Climate Change Strategies and Management, 2018 Purpose - Currently, negotiation on global carbon emissions reduction is very difficult owing to lack of international willingness. In response, geoengineering (climate engineering) strategies are proposed to artificially cool the planet.

Has the grand idea of geoengineering as Plan B run out of steam? [PDF]
, 2015 Paul Crutzen’s 2006 call for geoengineering research triggered public debate in the mass media of several countries. Since then, a common belief among numerous involved scientists has been that more geoengineering experimentation or research is needed ...

Geoengineering by stratospheric SO2 injection: results from the Met Office HadGEM2 climate model and comparison with the Goddard Institute for Space Studies ModelE [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2010 We examine the response of the Met Office Hadley Centre's HadGEM2-AO climate model to simulated geoengineering by continuous injection of SO2 into the lower stratosphere, and compare the results with those from the Goddard Institute for Space Studies ...

Availability of risky geoengineering can make an ambitious climate mitigation agreement more likely [PDF]
Humanities & Social Sciences Communications, 2020 Some countries prefer high to low mitigation (H ≻ L). Some prefer low to high (L ≻ H). That fundamental disagreement is at the heart of the seeming intractability of negotiating a climate mitigation agreement.

The radiative forcing potential of different climate geoengineering options [PDF]
, 2009 Climate geoengineering proposals seek to rectify the Earth's current and potential future radiative imbalance, either by reducing the absorption of incoming solar (shortwave) radiation, or by removing CO2 from the atmosphere and transferring it to long ...

Impact of solar geoengineering on wildfires in the 21st century in CESM2/WACCM6 [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023 We quantify future changes in wildfire burned area and carbon emissions in the 21st century under four Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) scenarios and two SSP5-8.5-based solar geoengineering scenarios with a target surface temperature defined by SSP2 ...

Forschungsjournal Soziale Bewegungen, 2020 When we think of tackling climate change, we think about reducing CO2 emissions. Whilst this is essential, it is no longer enough. MacMartin and Ricke examine the failures of current carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategies, all of which fail to satisfy three essential criteria: scalability, economic viability, and lack of detrimental local impacts.

Brief communication: Understanding solar geoengineering's potential to limit sea level rise requires attention from cryosphere experts [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 Stratospheric aerosol geoengineering, a form of solar geoengineering, is a proposal to add a reflective layer of aerosol to the stratosphere to reduce net radiative forcing and so to reduce the risks of climate change.

US Conservative and Libertarian Experts and Solar Geoengineering: An Assessment
European Journal of American Studies, 2021 The goal of this article is to review the various positions taken by free-market conservative and libertarian public policy experts regarding solar geoengineering. A quantitative analysis and a qualitative analysis of the online publications of ten major
