Boettcher, Miranda (2021): A leap of Green faith: the religious discourse of Socio-Ecological Care as an Earth system governmentality

Boettcher, Miranda (2021): A leap of Green faith: the religious discourse of Socio-Ecological Care as an Earth system governmentality. In Journal of Environmental Policy [&] Planning, pp. 1–13. DOI: 10.1080/1523908X.2021.1956310.

“Using climate engineering as a paradigmatic example of human interventions which may come to define the Anthropocene, this paper presents a sociology-of-knowledge discourse analysis of interviews with environmentally active multi-faith leaders and scholars.”

Castree, Noel (2020): The Discourse and Reality of Carbon Dioxide Removal: Toward the Responsible Use of Metaphors in Post-normal Times

Castree, Noel (2020): The Discourse and Reality of Carbon Dioxide Removal: Toward the Responsible Use of Metaphors in Post-normal Times. In Front. Clim. 2, p. 33. DOI: 10.3389/fclim.2020.614014.

“There’s little doubt that a variety of CDR techniques will be employed worldwide in the decades and centuries to come. Together, these techniques will alter the character and functioning of the biosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, pedosphere, and atmosphere. More locally, they will have immediate impacts on people and place, within diverse national state contexts. However, for the moment CDR exists more in the realm of discourse than reality.”

Neuber, Frederike; Ott, Konrad (2020): The Buying Time Argument within the Solar Radiation Management Discourse

Neuber, Frederike; Ott, Konrad (2020): The Buying Time Argument within the Solar Radiation Management Discourse. In Applied Sciences 10 (13), p. 4637. DOI: 10.3390/app10134637.

“In this article, we will establish a version of the buying time argument (BTA) in favor of Sulphur Aerosol Injection (SAI) Climate Engineering (CE). The idea is not to promote the deployment of such scheme, but rather to present the strongest possible argument pro SAI in order to look at its presuppositions, implications, critical points and uncertainties.”

Colvin, R.; et al. (2019): Learning from the Climate Change Debate to Avoid Polarisation on Negative Emissions

Colvin, R.; Kemp, L.; Talberg, A.; Castella, C. de; Downie, C.; Friel, S. et al. (2019): Learning from the Climate Change Debate to Avoid Polarisation on Negative Emissions. In: Environmental Communication 28, S. 1–13. DOI: 10.1080/17524032.2019.1630463.

“This paper identifies critical lessons from the climate change experience to guide how communications and engagement on negative emissions can be conducted to encourage functional public and policy discourse. Negative emissions technologies present a significant opportunity for limiting climate change, and are likely to be necessary to keep warming below 2°C.”
