„Supporters of geoengineering have proposed radical ways to alter the planet. But opposition is growing to geoengineering. We interviewed the indian environmentalist, scientist, philosopher Vandana Shiva.“
German newspaper article on CE, CCS and climate politics.
Report on a talk by Bjornar Egede-Nissen. „He admitted that there are some justifications of doing SRM research, including the cost-benefit analysis, the value of scientific research and the emergency options for SRM research. According to Egede-Nissen, the SRM can be comparatively cheap, but the long time-frame required and the side effects of doing SRM research can be cause for reconsideration.“
„Solar-radiation management could slow the effects of climate change but remains controversial“
„If some (company, or govt) puts up mirror-satellites to reduce incoming solar, and accidentally fries Australia, is that really the fault of those who put the CO2 in the atmosphere?“
German popular sicence magazine on CE risks.

„Here, we consider the scenario in which SRM—via stratospheric aerosol injection—is terminated abruptly following an implementation period during which anthropogenic GHG emissions have continued.“
„The precise details of that definition are important for various reasons, not the least of which is that it will determine what likely is to be subjected to the scrutiny and potentially complex and difficult legal governance processes that such a global scale climate-tweak effort would necessarily involve.“

„Here we present the effects that increased amounts of sulfate aerosol have on stratospheric meteorology and/or ozone concentrations, as simulated by two general circulation models and two coupled chemistry-climate models within the experiments G3 and G4 of the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP).“

„We analyzed output from the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP) for the two most “realistic” scenarios, which use the Representative Concentration Pathway of 4.5 Wm-2 by 2100 (RCP4.5) as the control run and inject sulfate aerosol precursors into the stratosphere.“
