The connection to CDR is mentioned in the article. „The Icelandic volcano’s ash plume that caused huge air travel disruption across Europe in 2010 resulted in the oceans absorbing more carbon dioxide (CO2) than usual, say scientists.“
Media coverage of Parson/Keith: End the Deadlock on Governance of Geoengineering Research. [updated 21.03.]
ETC group’s blog post. „In the first two months of 2013, leading advocates of geoengineering have argued variously that researching geoengineering (as a Plan B to GHG emission cuts) is like helping a cancer patient manage pain while seeking a cure“
General introduction in CE from an American History expert.
„Models of carbon dioxide in the oceans need to be revised according to research by the University of California, Irvine“
J. Cascio on wold future and sustainability with a few remards on CE.
„What is different today is that the furious pace of technological change risks leaving global governance in the dust, as national governments and international institutions scramble to come to terms with—much less regulate—innovations with profound implications for human welfare and global order.“

„During the long economic boom ignited by the robotics revolution of the 2020s, the population became ever more concentrated in wealthy megacities, and vat-grown genetically modified foods became the norm. Most people lost any meaningful connection to nature: Who needs the real thing when you have a computer-generated sensory facsimile, complete with designer drugs to complete the experience?“

„Can scientifi c self-regulation control small-scale research, or is governmental regulation needed?“
„Recognising as does the STEPS Centre, the importance of complexity, dynamism and path-dependent trajectories in coupled human and environmental systems, the project is seeking to identify the most appropriate pathways for governance under divergent perspectives and contexts.“
