Beyerl, Katharina; Maas, Achim (2014): Perspectives on Climate Engineering from Pacific Small Island States. Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS). Potsdam (IASS Working Paper).
„From the 21st to the 23rd of August 2013, the first “Open Discussion Workshop about Climate Engineering: Perspectives from Pacific Small Island States” took place in Suva, Fiji.“

„We draw on Karl Popper’s concepts of piecemeal and utopian social engineering to examine how different visions of societal development relate to SAI.“
„Antonio Gramsci’s motto was to practice pessimism of the intellect but optimism of the will. Viewing climate engineering as a megaproject would make for a more hard-headed place from which to assess its varied forms.“
Lefale, Penehuro Fatu (2014): Climate Engineering and Small Island States. Panacea or Catastrophe? (Geoengineering Our Climate? Working Paper and Opinion Article Series).
„For small islands, the emergence of climate engineering as a possible supplement to mitigation and adaptation strategies presents a political, policy, and scientific dilemma. They must engage, without delay, in the international climate engineering conversation.“
Alan Robock: „Prof. Keith has recently made a case for SRM climate engineering, but I beg to differ.“
„Here, you will be able to find short interviews (3-4 min) with members of the research community on key challenges and topics of investigation in the science and governance of climate engineering.“
Rayner, Steve (2014): To Know or Not to Know? A Note on Ignorance as a Rhetorical Resource in Geoengineering Debates (CGG Working Papers, 010).
„[M]y purpose is to explore theimplications of this disagreement for the sociological study of ignorance and for some of theories and models current in the field.“
Media response to Kravitz, Ben; et al. (2014). „Scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Caltech and Lancaster University took advantage of this „what-if“ proving ground by inserting a unique feedback loop into a climate model to react to theoretical climate engineering techniques.“
Kravitz, Ben; MacMartin, Douglas G.; Leedal, David T.; Rasch, Philip J.; Jarvis, Andrew J. (2014): Explicit feedback and the management of uncertainty in meeting climate objectives with solar geoengineering. In Environ. Res. Lett. 9 (4), p. 44006–44006. DOI 10.1088/1748-9326/9/4/044006.
„In our study, we use two fully coupled atmosphere–ocean general circulation models: one in which the geoengineering strategy is designed, and one in which geoengineering is implemented (a real-world proxy).“
Mike Hulme: „I critique one specific climate engineering proposal, namely to deliberately introduce sulphate aerosols into the stratosphere to regulate global temperature.“
