A proposal for a SRM field test by James Anderson and David Keith.
Spiegel Online: Government refuses Climate Surgery (German language)
The German government answered the parlamentarian opposition’s writte inquiry. The government refuses CE until scientific evidence is much clearer.
Post doc: Furture Ocean calls for Proposals for Research Projects
‚Furture Ocean‘ is also open to CE approaches.
ground report: Climate change will make the world endear geoengineering
„Geoengineering has its bad sides and efforts to resolve them have kept the subject at the research level. Agreeing to deploy it for the benefit of the world can come in a year or so, if the world is bashed badly by weather events.“
Wired UK: Science Climate models question the potential of geoengineering
Some modeling problems and need for field experiments.
Goeppert, Alain; et al. (2012): Air as the renewable carbon source of the future: an overview of CO2 capture from the atmosphere
Goeppert, Alain; Czaun, Miklos; Surya Prakash, G. K.; Olah, George A. (2012): Air as the renewable carbon source of the future: an overview of CO2 capture from the atmosphere. In: Energy Environ. Sci. 5 (7), pp. 7833-7853.
„The present article reviews methods developed for the capture of CO2 directly from the air as well as their advantages and drawbacks. While strong bases such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide could be used, their regeneration is energy intensive, requiring high temperatures.“
Chalecki, Elizabeth L.; Ferrari, Lisa L. (2012): More maple leaf, less CO 2. Canada and a global geo-engineering regime
Chalecki, Elizabeth L.; Ferrari, Lisa L. (2012): More maple leaf, less CO 2. Canada and a global geo-engineering regime. In: Canadian Foreign Policy Journal 18 (1), pp. 120–132.
„Finally, we examine Canada’s abilities and resources as a middle power to act as a foreign policy leader in the formation of a global geo-engineering regime.“
Moreno-Cruz, Juan B.; Keith, David W. (2012): Climate policy under uncertainty: a case for solar geoengineering
Moreno-Cruz, Juan B.; Keith, David W. (2012): Climate policy under uncertainty: a case for solar geoengineering. In: Climatic Change. DOI 10.1007/s10584-012-0487-4
This paper has been published as a working paper before. „We find that even modest reductions in uncertainty about the side-effects of SRM can reduce the overall costs of climate change in the order of 10%.“
