Manousi, Vasiliki; Xepapadeas, Anastasios (2013): Mitigation and Solar Radiation Management in Climate Change Policies. Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM) (FEEM Working Paper, 41).

„We analyze the optimal policy mix of geoengineering and mitigation in both a cooperative and a noncooperative framework, in which we study open loop and feedback solutions.“

Talk/Lecture documentation: Solar radiation management: An evolving climate policy option

Video from the following event: 29.05.2013, Washington, DC. Presentation by J. E. Bickel and Lee Lane. Discussion with T. Schelling. „A new paper by Lee Lane of the Hudson Institute and J. Eric Bickel of the University of Texas at Austin probes the truth of these propositions. The paper shows the potential economic benefits of SRM but also explores its risks.“

LU, Q.-B (2013): Cosmic-ray-driven Reaction and Greenhouse Effects of Halogenated Molecules

LU, Q.-B (2013): Cosmic-ray-driven Reaction and Greenhouse Effects of Halogenated Molecules. Culprits for Atmospheric Ozone Deplition and Global Climate Change. In Int. J. Mod. Phys. B, p. 1350073. DOI 10.1142/S0217979213500732.

„This study is focused on the effects of cosmic rays (solar activity) and halogen-containing molecules (mainly chlorofluorocarbons — CFCs) on atmospheric ozone depletion and global climate change. Brief reviews are first given on the cosmic-ray-driven electron-induced-reaction (CRE) theory for O3 depletion and the warming theory of halogenated molecules for climate change.“
