Abelkop, Adam D. K.; Carlson, Jonathan C. (2012): Reining in Phaëthon’s Chariot: Principles for the Governance of Geoengineering

Abelkop, Adam D. K.; Carlson, Jonathan C. (2012): Reining in Phaëthon’s Chariot: Principles for the Governance of Geoengineering. In: University of Iowa – Legal Studies Research Paper 21 (27), pp. 101–145.

“This paper argues that there is an urgent need for the international community to establish a governance framework to control geoengineering experimentation and implementation. All proposals currently under discussion are likely to have some adverse, possibly severe, impacts on ecosystems or climate”
