The Ethics of Volcano Geoengineering [PDF]
Earth's Future, 2023 Volcano geoengineering is the practice of altering the state of volcanic systems and/or volcanic eruptions to exploit them or mitigate their risk. Although many in the field insist there is little that can be done to mitigate the hazard, past examples of

How Negative Frames Can Undermine Public Support for Studying Solar Geoengineering in the U.S
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 Scientists and policymakers have become interested in the viability of solar geoengineering as a way to manipulate the Earth’s temperature in the face of unabated global warming.

Futures, 2018 There has been much discussion of the moral, legal and prudential implications of geoengineering, and of governance structures for both the research and deployment of such technologies. However, insufficient attention has been paid to how such measures might affect geoengineering in terms of the incentive structures which underwrite scientific progress.

Geoengineering as Collective Experimentation [PDF]
Science and Engineering Ethics, 2015 Geoengineering is defined as the 'deliberate and large-scale intervention in the Earth's climatic system with the aim of reducing global warming'. The technological proposals for doing this are highly speculative. Research is at an early stage, but there is a strong consensus that technologies would, if realisable, have profound and surprising ...

International Debate Over Geoengineering and Geoengineering Governance
Chinese Journal of Urban and Environmental Studies, 2017 In the face of the severe challenge of global climate change, all countries find it difficult to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2[Formula: see text]C above pre-industrial levels, let alone 1.5[Formula: see text]C. In recent years, geoengineering has gained increasingly more attention from the international community ...

Journal of Ethics and Emerging Technologies, 2016 Geoengineering, specifically Solar Radiation Management (SRM), has been proposed to effect rapid influence over the Earth’s climate system in order to counteract Anthropogenic Global Warming. This poses near-term to long-term governance challenges, some of which are within the planning horizon of current political administrations.

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.

An earth system governance perspective on solar geoengineering
Earth System Governance, 2020 Solar geoengineering appears capable of reducing climate change and the associated risks. In part because it would be global in effect, the governance of solar geoengineering is a central concern.

A risk-based framework for assessing the effectiveness of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Geoengineering by stratospheric aerosol injection has been proposed as a policy response to warming from human emissions of greenhouse gases, but it may produce unequal regional impacts. We present a simple, intuitive risk-based framework for classifying

Opinion: The scientific and community-building roles of the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP) – past, present, and future [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023 The Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP) is a coordinating framework, started in 2010, that includes a series of standardized climate model experiments aimed at understanding the physical processes and projected impacts of solar ...
