Sean Low, Chad M.Baum, Benjamin K. Sovacool IN: Energy Research & Social Science, Vol. 90, August 2022, 102594, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2022.102594

„Who defends and opposes solar geoengineering experiments, and why?“ After screening 44 early-stage experiments, the authors conduct a qualitative comparative analysis of 21 of them in five areas: ocean fertilization, marine cloud brightening, stratospheric aerosol injection, ice protection, and enhanced weathering. The author’s contribution is to map and explain the key issues of contention (why), actors (who), and tactics (how) that have shaped opposition across these linked fields of experimentation and technological development, from the 1990s till today.
