Media response to the cost analysis of McClellan et al. „The researchers make it clear that they have not sought to address the science of aerosols in the stratosphere, nor issues of risk, effectiveness or governance that will add to the costs of solar radiation management geoengineering. „

Climate modeling study of vulcanic eruptions. „This is also of concern for the accuracy of geoengineering modeling studies that assess the atmospheric response to stratosphere-injected particles.“
„A leading British academic has called for accelerated research into futuristic geo-engineering and a worldwide nuclear power station „binge“ to avoid runaway global warming.“
Laakso, Anton; Partanen, Antti-Ilari; Kokkola, Harri; Laaksonen, Ari; Lehtinen, Kari E. J.; Korhonen, Hannele (2012): Stratospheric passenger flights are likely an inefficient geoengineering strategy. In: Environ. Res. Lett 7 (3), S. 34021.
„Here, we show that using stratospheric passenger flights to inject sulfate aerosols would not cause significant forcing under realistic injection scenarios.“
„The latest such geoengineering scheme is no different: it involves frozen carbon dioxide, Antarctica and a whole lot of freezers.“
Environmental blog news on iron fertilization. „So environmentalists could shift the climate change debate in the US by reframing it as a technological issue rather than a regulatory one.“
Commentary on the latest cost calculation of SRM. (Dutch language)
Short conference report on „Climate Engineering ICCP2012“, International Conference on Clouds and Precipitation (ICCP) at the Leipzig University, Germany in August 2012
„The hurricane-stopping technique is a smaller-scale version of an idea Latham and others have proposed to slow global warming all over the planet. „
