Anshelm, Jonas; Hansson, Anders (2014): Battling Promethean dreams and Trojan horses: Revealing the critical discourses of geoengineering

Anshelm, Jonas; Hansson, Anders (2014): Battling Promethean dreams and Trojan horses: Revealing the critical discourses of geoengineering. In Energy Research [&] Social Science 2, pp. 135–144. DOI 10.1016/j.erss.2014.04.001.

„Via a qualitative textual analysis of 1500 articles, we investigate discursive claims critical of geoengineering, considering what subjects are the most controversial, and what worldviews, values, and problematizations are shared by the actors subscribing to this discourse.“

Cusack, Daniela F.; et al. (2014): An interdisciplinary assessment of climate engineering strategies

Cusack, Daniela F.; Axsen, Jonn; Shwom, Rachael; Hartzell-Nichols, Lauren; White, Sam; Mackey, Katherine R. M. (2014): An interdisciplinary assessment of climate engineering strategies. In Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment 12 (5), pp. 280–287. DOI 10.1890/130030.

„Here, we develop and apply criteria to measure technical, economic, ecological, institutional, and ethical dimensions of, and public acceptance for, climate engineering strategies; provide a relative rating for each dimension; and offer a new interdisciplinary framework for comparing abatement and climate engineering options.“

Cairns, Rose (2014): Climates of suspicion: chemtrail conspiracy narratives and the international politics of geoengineering

Cairns, Rose (2014): Climates of suspicion: ‚chemtrail‘ conspiracy narratives and the international politics of geoengineering (CGG Working Papers, 09).

„This paper builds on work highlighting the instability of the distinction between ‘conspiratorial’ versus ‘normal’ views, and examines conspiracy narratives as discourse rather than as pathologies (either psychological or sociological). A discourse analysis allows an exploration of parallel logics and concerns animating both the chemtrail narrative and[nbsp] wider discourses around climate and climate control.“

Lloyd, Ian D.; Oppenheimer, Michael (2014): On the Design of an International Governance Framework for Geoengineering

Lloyd, Ian D.; Oppenheimer, Michael (2014): On the Design of an International Governance Framework for Geoengineering. In Global Environmental Politics 14 (2), pp.[nbsp]45–63. DOI: 10.1162/GLEP_a_00228.

„This paper explores the governance options surrounding geoengineering [here only SRM] […]. The authors […] examine whether an international governance framework for SRM is needed, how it should be designed, and whether it is feasible.“
