Solar Geoengineering, Delay, and Addiction [PDF]
Climatic ChangeIt is increasingly common to hear solar geoengineering compared to opioids. I argue that probing this analogy can help us appreciate the following surprising point: Common arguments for solar geoengineering, if taken to their logical conclusion, imply ...

Journal of Science & TechnologyThis article examines the relevance of the research on solar geo-engineering, which has become the new buzz-word in climate change mitigation. With current climate mitigation policies becoming evidently inadequate, one needs to look at science for the ...

Impacts of hemispheric solar geoengineering on tropical cyclone frequency. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2017 Solar geoengineering refers to a range of proposed methods for counteracting global warming by artificially reducing sunlight at Earth’s surface. The most widely known SG proposal is stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) which has impacts analogous to ...

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)

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.

Brief communication: Understanding solar geoengineering's potential to limit sea level rise requires attention from cryosphere experts [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 Stratospheric aerosol geoengineering, a form of solar geoengineering, is a proposal to add a reflective layer of aerosol to the stratosphere to reduce net radiative forcing and so to reduce the risks of climate change.

Pandemic politics—lessons for solar geoengineering [PDF]
Communications Earth & Environment, 2020 Responses to the COVID-19 emergency have exposed break-points at the interface of science, media, and policy. We summarize five lessons that should be heeded if climate change ever enters a state of emergency perceived to warrant stratospheric aerosol injection.

Nonstate governance of solar geoengineering research [PDF]
Climatic Change, 2020 AbstractAs climate change’s risks have grown and limits to primary responses become evident, solar geoengineering (or solar radiation modification) has risen in prominence as a potential complementary response. Widespread calls for expanded research have raised objections, based on anticipated links to potential future deployment and potentially ...

Frontiers in Climate, 2022 Climate change and solar geoengineering have different implications for drought. Climate change can “speed up” the hydrological cycle, but it causesgreater evapotranspiration than the historical climate because of higher temperatures.
