From moral hazard to risk-response feedback
Climate Risk Management, 2021 The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessments (IPCC) Special Report on 1.5 °C of global warming is clear. Nearly all pathways that hold global warming well below 2 °C involve carbon removal (IPCC, 2015).

Forgoing Nuclear: Nuclear Power Plant Closures and Carbon Emissions in the United States
Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines the effect of nuclear power plant decommissioning on electricity generation and carbon emissions in the United States. Using data on nuclear reactor closures in the United States between 1993 and 2022 and data on state‐level carbon emissions and electricity generation from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), this ...

Weakened tropical circulation and reduced precipitation in response to geoengineering
Environmental Research Letters, 2014 Geoengineering by injection of reflective aerosols into the stratosphere has been proposed as a way to counteract the warming effect of greenhouse gases by reducing the intensity of solar radiation reaching the surface.

Solar Geoengineering and Democracy [PDF]
Global Environmental Politics, 2018 Some scientists suggest that it might be possible to reflect a portion of incoming sunlight back into space to reduce climate change and its impacts. Others argue that such solar radiation management (SRM) geoengineering is inherently incompatible with democracy. In this article, we reject this incompatibility argument.

Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 3, July 2026.When a nuclear weapon is detonated in a region with sufficient fuel loading, the resulting firestorm can lift soot into the stratosphere, where it disperses globally over a few weeks. The soot, or black carbon, blocks sunlight, decreasing temperature and precipitation and depleting ozone.

Expanding the design space of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering to include precipitation-based objectives and explore trade-offs [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2020 Previous climate modeling studies demonstrate the ability of feedback-regulated, stratospheric aerosol geoengineering with injection at multiple independent latitudes to meet multiple simultaneous temperature-based objectives in the presence of ...

Deployment Strategy Shapes the Polar Climate Response to Marine Cloud Brightening
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract Marine cloud brightening (MCB) is a proposed solar climate intervention strategy that increases marine cloud reflectivity to cool Earth's surface. While previous studies have largely examined its global temperature and precipitation effects, little is known about how MCB deployment strategies influence polar climate and sea ice.
