Lin, Albert (2012): Does Geoengineering Present a Moral Hazard? (in press), in: Ecology Law Quarterly
„ The article finds it likely that geoengineering efforts will undermine mainstream strategies to combat climate change and suggests potential measures for ameliorating this moral hazard.„
„Prof Stephen Salter, technical adviser at Aquamarine Power, believes geoengineering could help to mitigate some of the most pressing effects of climate change.“

„Despite large uncertainties in the characteristics, environmental effects, and risks of specific potential interventions, certain clear and emerging characteristics of these technologies suggest broad outlines of the policy and political risks they pose, the requirements for effective governance, and priority near-term steps to limit risks and learn more.“

„This paper presents a novel method of space-based geoengineering which uses the mass of a captured near Earth asteroid to gravitationally anchor a cloud of unprocessed dust in the vicinity of the L1 position to reduce the level of solar insolation at Earth.“

CE to tackle melting of the arctic. „Though initially suggested as a ‚fringe idea,‘ it was later considered potentially viable, but only as an accompanying strategy to a better solution. Now, scientists are looking at the technology more seriously.“
Post by Tim Kruger in the Oxford Martin School Blog. „We need to define what that edge is now, before experimentation takes place.“

„Clear rules in relation to how these strategies and techniques ought to be governed are in urgent need. Rules should not be limited to the governance aspects, but should also provide for the commercial use of geoengineering.“
