„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.“
Zhang, Zhihua; Moore, John C.; Huisingh, Donald; Zhao, Yongxin (2014): Review of Geoengineering Approaches to Mitigating Climate Change. In Journal of Cleaner Production. DOI 10.1016/j.jclepro.2014.09.076.
„In this paper, we will review and assess technical and theoretical aspects of land-based, atmosphere-based, ocean-based and space-based geoengineering schemes as well as their potential impacts on global climate and ecosystem.“
„A Columbia scientist and his startup think they have a plan to save the world. Now they have to convince the rest of us.“
„It is no wonder, then, that a growing chorus of voices is pressing for consideration of a „Plan B“ to tackle climate change.“
„Yet opposition to the techno-fix is also more entrenched in the United States, and would likely be rallied to defeat the Prometheans if geoengineering proposals became serious, leaving China the most likely power to assume the role of global climate regulator.“
„Reversing all fossil-fuel-generated carbon dioxide since the 18th century (est. 392 billion tons) would supposedly require $196 billion – $392 billion total, labor excluded.“
„Conversations about specific methods of climate engineering rather than climate engineering in general.“

French paper. „This article will classify and discuss these techniques in terms of their potential, viability and risks.„
„So why not use technology to change the climate artificially? swissinfo.ch asks some Swiss scientists about the pros and cons.“
