Majkut, Joseph; et al. (2017): Geoengineering Responses to Climate Change Require Enhanced Research, Consideration of Societal Impacts, and Policy Development

Majkut, Joseph; Wong, Adam; Hagemann, Ryan (2017): Geoengineering Responses to Climate Change Require Enhanced Research, Consideration of Societal Impacts, and Policy Development. Niskanen Center (Public Interest Comment).

„The American Geophysical Union’s (AGU) draft statement is an important step forward in recognizing the need for research into climate geoengineering, which may be deployed as a means of reducing some of the risks of human-caused climate change. Climate geoengineering is a topic wrought with controversy, and careful guidance from the scientific community can help policymakers weigh the risks of managing particular aspects of the climate system, now and in the future. The Niskanen Center concurs that this issue is likely to cause tension between policymakers, scientists, and the public, especially in light of the politicization of climate change research.“
