Geoengineering : risks, rights and justice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This article discusses arguments that manipulating the Earth’s climate may provoke unforeseen, unintended and uncontrollable consequences that threaten human rights. The risks arise from both main types of geoengineering: solar radiation management (SRM)
