Tollefson, Jeff (2012): Ocean-fertilization project off Canada sparks furore. In: nature 490 (7421), S. 458–459. DOI 10.1038/490458a
On the Canadian iron fertilization project. „Bid to boost salmon stocks relied on hotly debated science and dubious carbon credits.“
On the COP 11 of CBD. „An international meeting on biodiversity has called for more science-based information, the closure of knowledge gaps, and increased precaution, in the emerging fields of synthetic biology and geoengineering (climate engineering)“

Comparing CE with planetary engineering/terraforming. „Here we draw on insights from terraforming and environmental ethics to develop a two-axis comparative tool for ethical frameworks that considers the intrinsic or instrumental value placed upon organisms, environments, planetary systems, or space.“
Media version of latest MacMartin/Keith/et al. (2012). „Stopping or reversing climate change can be achieved with significantly reduced side effects if solar radiation management efforts are optimized for the different seasons and latitudes, according to a new study by a team of researchers at Harvard University, the California Institute of Technology, and the Carnegie Institution for Science.“

„Here we show that optimizing the latitudinal and seasonal distribution of solar reduction can improve the fidelity with which solar radiation management offsets anthropogenic climate change.“
„The Convention on Biological Diversity (COP11) that concluded on Friday October 19, at the Indian city of Hyderabad had agreements made on all main topics under negotiation.“
Dalai Lama is slightly pro CE research.
New Project, mostly on climate change risk in general.
„Guidelines on the deployment of geoengineering have been agreed at the UN biodiversity summit in Hyderabad following intense negotiations.“
