Reynolds, J. (2014): A critical examination of the climate engineering moral hazard and risk compensation concern

Reynolds, J. (2014): A critical examination of the climate engineering moral hazard and risk compensation concern. In The Anthropocene Review. DOI 10.1177/2053019614554304.

„If the goal of climate policy is to minimize climate risks, this concern should not be grounds for restricting or prohibiting climate engineering research. Three potential means for this concern to manifest in genuinely deleterious ways, as well as policy options to reduce these effects, are identified.“
