Forgoing Nuclear: Nuclear Power Plant Closures and Carbon Emissions in the United States

Southern Economic Journal, Volume 93, Issue 1, Page 252-273, July 2026.
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 ...

Public perceptions on solar geoengineering from focus groups in 22 countries

Communications Earth & Environment
Solar geoengineering maintains a vocal presence as a stop-gap measure in assessments of climate and sustainability action. In this paper, we map prospective benefits and risks, and corresponding governance approaches, regarding three major proposals for ...

Profit-seeking solar geoengineering exemplifies broader risks of market-based climate governance

Earth System Governance
Despite uncertainties about its feasibility and desirability, start-up companies seeking to profit from solar geoengineering have begun to emerge. One company is releasing balloons filled with sulfur dioxide to sell “cooling credits”, claiming that the ...

Contrasting medium and genre on Wikipedia to open up the dominating definition and classification of geoengineering

Big Data & Society, 2016
Geoengineering is typically defined as a techno-scientific response to climate change that differs from mitigation and adaptation, and that includes diverse individual technologies, which can be classified as either solar radiation management or carbon ...

Hydrologic Sensitivity of Snow and Streamflow Dynamics to Climate Forcing With and Without Stratospheric Aerosol Intervention

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Snowpack accumulation and melt critically regulate freshwater availability across many regions. Under global warming, the dominant control on snowpack variability shifts from cold‐season precipitation (Pc) to cold‐season temperature (Tc), altering snow–rain partitioning, snowmelt timing, and runoff generation.

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.

Maximum Lifetime of the Vegetative Biosphere

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract We use a three‐dimensional model to calculate steady‐state climates at various intervals in Earth's future, across a parameter space of increasing insolation and decreasing CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$ mixing ratio. Comparison with prior results shows an overestimation of warming by one‐dimensional models when solar constant is increased and CO2 ...

Sulfur Exposure for Airplane Passengers From Stratospheric Aerosol Injection

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Injection of sulfur dioxide to create a stratospheric sulfate aerosol cloud is the most studied method of climate intervention. It has been suggested that airplanes be used at high latitudes to create such a cloud at lower altitudes. Commercial airplanes routinely fly at altitudes of 11 km in the Arctic, and therefore passengers could be ...

Highland Pathways Shape Global Dust Vertical Transport and Its Climate Effects

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Highlands govern global dust vertical transport, yet their region‐specific pathways and climatic impacts remain unclear. We found that although dust emissions from highlands are minimal, the dust content in the middle and upper atmosphere over highlands is high, identifying highlands as key dust conduits.
