Regulating Solar Radiation Management

European Journal of Risk Regulation, 2016
Climate engineering in general and solar radiation management (SRM) in particular raise profound and complex political, legal, social, and ethical questions that go well beyond technical feasibility issues. We consider three such questions. First, can existing EU decision-making processes accommodate sufficient public engagement to ensure legitimate ...

Solar radiation management and ecosystem functional responses

Climatic Change, 2017
Geoengineering such as solar radiation management (SRM) can be an emergent option to avoid devastating climatic warming, but its ramifications are barely understood. The perturbation of the Earth’s energy balance, atmospheric dynamics, and hydrological cycling may exert unexpected influences on natural and human systems.

Governing the termination problem in solar radiation management

Environmental Politics, 2018
ABSTRACTTechnologies for Solar Radiation Management (SRM) could limit global warming by manipulating the Earth’s radiation balance. A major objection to SRM is the termination problem: the catastrophic consequences that are likely to result from its sudden discontinuation. The termination problem limits the reversibility of policy choices and poses the

Engineering imaginaries: Anticipatory foresight for solar radiation management governance

Science of The Total Environment, 2017
Since solar radiation management (SRM) technologies do not yet exist and capacities to model their impacts are limited, proposals for its governance are implicitly designed not around realities, but possibilities - baskets of risk and benefit that are often components of future imaginaries.

Forcing dependence of atmospheric lapse rate changes dominates residual polar warming in solar radiation management climate scenarios.

, 2020
Simulations of solar radiation management (SRM) geoengineering using comprehensive general circulation models show a residual surface warming at high latitudes.

Fighting risk with risk: solar radiation management, regulatory drift, and minimal justice

The Ethics of “Geoengineering” the Global Climate, 2019
Solar radiation management (SRM) has been proposed as a means of mitigating climate change. Although SRM poses new risks, it is sometimes proposed as the ‘lesser evil’. I consider how research and implementation of SRM could be regulated, drawing on what

Precaution and Solar Radiation Management

Ethics, Policy & Environment, 2012
Solar radiation management is a form of geoengineering that involves the intentional manipulation of solar radiation with the aim of reducing global average temperature. This paper explores what precaution implies about the status of solar radiation management.
