„For the first time, this article examines framings of geoengineering experimentation using a corpus approach to thematic discourse analysis.“

„Here, we present the findings from the first ‘upstream’ appraisal of geoengineering to deliberately ‘open up’ to a broader diversity of framings, knowledges and future pathways. We report on the citizen strand of an innovative analytic–deliberative participatory appraisal process called Deliberative Mapping.“
„In conclusion, geoengineering is a very dangerous industry. Although proponents of the industry point out its potential benefits, these are many times just assumptions.“
„Extended web-exclusive interview with Naomi Klein about her new book, This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate.“
„In sum, given the potential risks and benefits of geoengineering, and the growing citizen engagement (and activism) related to science and technology policymaking across the world, a deliberative approach is necessary.“

Final paper available now. „This study explores the development of laypeople’s preferences for newly emerging Climate Engineering technology (CE).“
Guest Post – Dr. Cush Ngonzo Luwesi, Kenyatta University, Kenya. „All human beings need to be aware of what is going on and decide on their destiny, without necessarily achieving consensus around CE deployment.“
„Of course we must quit burning fossil fuels and welcome a renewable future, writes Andrew Lockley. But that’s not going to stop the Earth from warming, indeed the reverse. So … we need some tricks up our sleeve to deal with it – in a word, geoengineering.“
„USG agencies support for Marine Bio-Energy and Carbon Sequestration (MBECS) development/demand can be achieved through established programs.“
New book of Naomi Klein with one chapter on CE. „The climate-change movement is making little headway against corporate vested interests, says the author of Shock Doctrine. But how does she think her new book, This Changes Everything, will help galvanise people?“
