„On 7 December 2019, C2G convened an official UNFCCC COP25 side event on governing emerging marine climate-altering techniques. Stephan Singer, Senior Advisor on Global Energy Policies at Climate Action Network International, participated in a panel discussion.“
„Deep in the ocean, fluffy bits of organic matter fall like snow. But this marine snow isn’t just pretty; it’s an essential part of our ocean food webs and our global climate!“

„Hierzu wird nach einigen allgemeinen Ausführungen zum Geoengineering zunächst untersucht werden, inwieweit derartige Technologien existentielle Risiken darstellen (B.). Anschließend werden die bestehenden völkerrechtlichen Normen daraufhin geprüft werden, ob und inwieweit sie das relevanteste existentielle Risiko durch Geoengineering regulieren (C.). Auf Basis dieser Analyse werden dann Empfehlungen für zukünftige Normen abgeleitet (D.). Abschließend folgt eine Zusammenfassung der gewonnenen Erkenntnisse (E.).“
„Over the period, carbon emissions in Britain’s power sector fell by around two thirds to 54 million metric tonnes in 2019 from 161 million tonnes in 2010 as the country’s generators shifted away from coal and natural gas to renewables such as sustainable biomass.“

„A global debate over manipulating the atmosphere to reflect sunlight away from Earth is poised to accelerate when researchers release a report warning world leaders to become more familiar with the risks and benefits of climate geoengineering.“
„New Zealand needs to quickly adapt scientific advances in biochar research, both domestic and international, and apply them to our own opportunities. In doing so, biochar can be a key part of our climate change response, while also lifting our productivity and sustainability.“

„These results indicate that this harmful cyanobacterium is likely to benefit strongly from rising atmospheric[nbsp]pCO2.“
Stuart, Diana, Ryan Gunderson, and Brian Petersen (2020): Carbon Geoengineering and the Metabolic Rift: Solution or Social Reproduction?[nbsp]Critical Sociology, February, 089692052090507. https://doi.org/10.1177/0896920520905074.
„Using the concepts of metabolism and metabolic rift as a framework, this paper examines carbon geoengineering technologies as a solution to climate change and explores if it is possible to mend an ecological metabolic rift without fundamental changes in the social metabolic order.“
„The benefits of adding more iron to the oceans — known as iron fertilisation — would be limited, at least on a global scale, according to a[nbsp]new study[nbsp]published in the 18 February 2020 issue of the[nbsp]Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences[nbsp](1). In other words, there is ‘just enough’ iron in the ocean.“
