„A Japanese research team has succeeded in producing artificial rain for two consecutive years, proving the effectiveness of spraying liquid carbonic acid onto the bottoms of clouds.“
McLaren, Duncan (2012): A comparative global assessment of potential negative emissions technologies. In: Process Safety and Environmental Protection 90 (6), pp. 489–500. DOI 10.1016/j.psep.2012.10.005
„The paper summarises a global assessment of around 30 prospective negative emissions techniques (NETs) found in the literature.“
Martiny, Adam C.; Pham, Chau T. A.; Primeau, Francois W.; Vrugt, Jasper A.; Moore, J. Keith; Levin, Simon A.; Lomas, Michael W. (2013): Strong latitudinal patterns in the elemental ratios of marine plankton and organic matter. In: Nature Geosci 6 (4), pp. 279–283. DOI 10.1038/ngeo1757
Study that is connected to ocean fertilization. „Here we assess global patterns in the elemental composition of phytoplankton and particulate organic matter in the upper ocean, using published and unpublished observations of particulate phosphorus, nitrogen and carbon from a broad latitudinal range, supplemented with elemental data for surface plankton populations.“
Media response to Bony; et al. (2013). „The latest studies on solar geoengineering to tackle climate change are reinforcing the case for a global governance system and further study before deployment, as they show that the approach may have little effect on preventing rainfall changes in the tropics — and may even lead to widespread drought in Africa.„
Robock, Alan; MacMartin, Douglas G.; Duren, Riley; Christensen, Matthew W. (2013): Studying geoengineering with natural and anthropogenic analogs. In: Climatic Change. DOI 10.1007/s10584-013-0777-5
„[T]here are also natural and anthropogenic analogs to SRM, such as volcanic eruptions in the case of stratospheric aerosol injection and ship tracks in the case of marine cloud albedo modification. It is essential to understand what we can learn from these analogs in order to validate models, particularly because of the problematic nature of outdoor experiments.“
On loss of Arctic summer sea ice with a short comment about CE. „The AMEG statement adds that governments should consider geoengineering techniques“
Expert discussion. „Two leading climate academics[nbsp]–[nbsp]Ken Caldeira and Clive Hamilton[nbsp]–[nbsp]debate the issue of geoengineering and whether it should be allowed to go-ahead“
Video recorded panel discussion from the IASS meeting in Potsdam „Mind the Gap“ on 16.04.2013.
Social sicence study. „But what captures my interest, of course, is the „science communication“ significance of the „yes we can–with more technology“ theme.“
Students magazine article about economics and moral hazard of CE. „Funding geoengineering is a morally hazardous insurance policy. Life on earth bears the cost if things go wrong.“
