Stratospheric solar geoengineering without ozone loss. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2016 Significance The combination of emissions cuts and solar geoengineering could reduce climate risks in ways that cannot be achieved by emissions cuts alone: It could keep Earth under the 1.5-degree mark agreed at Paris, and it might stop sea level rise this century. However, this promise comes with many risks.

Governing solar geoengineering research as it leaves the laboratory [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions Series A, Mathematical, Physical, and Engineering Sciences, 2014 One of the greatest controversies in geoengineering policy concerns the next stages of solar radiation management research, and when and how it leaves the laboratory. Citing numerous risks and concerns, a range of prominent commentators have called for field experiments to be delayed until there is formalized research governance, such as an ...

Solar geoengineering to limit the rate of temperature change [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions Series A, Mathematical, Physical, and Engineering Sciences, 2014 Solar geoengineering has been suggested as a tool that might reduce damage from anthropogenic climate change. Analysis often assumes that geoengineering would be used to maintain a constant global mean temperature. Under this scenario, geoengineering would be required either indefinitely (on societal time scales) or until atmospheric CO

The politics and governance of research into solar geoengineering [PDF]
WIREs Climate Change, 2021 AbstractResearch into solar geoengineering, far from being societally neutral, is already highly intertwined with its emerging politics. This review outlines ways in which research conditions or constructs solar geoengineering in diverse ways, including the forms of possible material technologies of solar geoengineering; the criteria and targets for ...

Solar Geoengineering, Learning, and Experimentation [PDF]
Journal of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists, 2021 Solar geoengineering (SGE) can combat climate change by directly reducing temperatures. Both SGE and the climate itself are surrounded by great uncertainties. Implementing SGE affects learning about these uncertainties. We model endogenous learning over two uncertainties: the sensitivity of temperatures to carbon concentrations (the climate sensitivity)

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 ...

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

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.
