‘Die Welt will noch kein Geoengineering’
Schwefelimpfungen für die Atmosphäre, Eisendünger für die Meere und gigantische Spiegel für die Erdumlaufbahn: In Nagoya haben die UN-Länder ein Moratorium für umstrittene Geoengineering-Experimente beschlossen. Für Umweltschützer ein „Meilenstein“.

„To evaluate the effects of stratospheric geoengineering with sulphate aerosols, we propose standard forcing scenarios to be applied to multiple climate models to compare their results and determine the robustness of their responses. Thus far, different modeling groups have used different forcing scenarios for both global warming and geoengineering, complicating the comparison of results. We recommend four experiments to explore the extent to which geoengineering might offset climate change projected in some of the Climate Model Intercomparison Project 5 experiments. These experiments focus on stratospheric aerosols, but future experiments under this framework may focus on different means of geoengineering.“
Global Change: Climate geoengineering. Could we? Should we?
„Radical technological responses to counteract global warming are receiving increased attention as a possible policy option. But is geoengineering a potential safety net, a distraction or a dead end? Phil Williamson explores.“

Einführender Artikel zu CE allgemein. „Großtechnische Ideen wie ein Sonnenschirm für die ganze Erde und das Wegschließen des Kohlendioxids bergen Chancen, Risiken – und reichlich Futter für politischen Streit.“
