Schmidt, H.; Alterskjær, K.; et al. (2012): Solar irradiance reduction to counteract radiative forcing from a quadrupling of CO2

Schmidt, H.; Alterskjær, K.; Bou Karam, D.; Boucher, O.; Jones, A.; Kristjánsson, J. E. et al. (2012): Solar irradiance reduction to counteract radiative forcing from a quadrupling of CO2: climate responses simulated by four earth system models. In: Earth Syst. Dynam. 3 (1), pp. 63–78.[nbsp]doi:10.5194/esd-3-63-2012

„In this study we compare the response of four state-of-the-art Earth system models to climate engineering under scenario G1 of two model intercomparison projects: GeoMIP (Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project) and IMPLICC (EU project „Implications and risks of engineering solar radiation to limit climate change“). […] Precipitation responses are, however, in many regions of comparable magnitude but globally of opposite sign.“

Borick, Christopher; Rabe, Barry (2012): Americans Cool on Geoengineering. Approaches to Addressing Climate Change. Brookings. Washington, D.C. (Governance Studies, 47).

„Given the political and economic challenge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, there is growing interest in finding alternative methods of dealing with climate change. In a new paper, Christopher Borick and Barry Rabe look at the American public’s attitude towards using geoengineering solutions as a means to combat global warming.“
