MILITARIZATION OF THE ANTHROPOCENE THROUGH SOLAR GEOENGINEERING APPLICATIONS

open access: yesAICEI Proceedings, 2020
While currently living in the geological epoch of the Anthropocene, mankind is consequently fighting against climate change and other hazardous environmental issues.

Solar geoengineering : The case for an international non‐use agreement [PDF]

open access: yesWIREs Climate Change, 2022
Solar geoengineering is gaining prominence in climate change debates as an issue worth studying; for some it is even a potential future policy option. We argue here against this increasing normalization of solar geoengineering as a speculative part of ...

The hidden injustices of advancing solar geoengineering research

open access: yesGlobal Sustainability, 2020
Advancing solar geoengineering research is associated with multiple hidden injustices that are revealed by addressing three questions: Who is conducting and funding solar geoengineering research?

Environmental Peacebuilding and Solar Geoengineering

open access: yesFrontiers in Climate, 2022
Solar geoengineering, or reflecting incoming sunlight to cool the planet, has been viewed by international relations and governance scholars as an approach that could exacerbate conflict.

Towards legitimacy of the solar geoengineering research enterprise. [PDF]

open access: yesPhilos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci, 2018
Mounting evidence that even aggressive reductions in net emissions of greenhouse gases will be insufficient to limit global climate risks is increasing calls for atmospheric experiments to better understand the risks and implications of also deploying ...

On solar geoengineering and climate uncertainty [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2015
Uncertain climate system response has been raised as a concern regarding solar geoengineering. We explore the effects of geoengineering on one source of climate system uncertainty by evaluating the intermodel spread across 12 climate models participating

An earth system governance perspective on solar geoengineering

open access: yesEarth 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.

Highly decentralized solar geoengineering

open access: yesEnvironmental Politics, 2019
Nonstate actors appear to have increasing power, in part due to new technologies that alter actors’ capacities and incentives. Although solar geoengineering is typically conceived of as centralized and state-deployed, we explore highly decentralized ...

“Sunshade World”: A fully coupled GCM evaluation of the climatic impacts of geoengineering [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2008
Sunshade geoengineering ‐ the installation of reflective mirrors between the Earth and the Sun to reduce incoming solar radiation, has been proposed as a mitigative measure to counteract anthropogenic global warming.
