Slate: The Good, Bad, and Ugly Approaches to Geoengineering
„It’s not about the technologies themselves—it’s about the way they are implemented.“

„But Africa must look hard at uncomfortable options or face being left behind by other countries with fewer scruples. Specifically, it is important to consider how regional geoengineering initiatives could help to protect southern Africa from some of the more damaging impacts of climate change.“
„The GHGT conference series has established itself as the principal international conference on greenhouse gas mitigation technologies especially on CCS (CO2 Capture and Storage).“
„One of the key primary reasons against geoengineering is seen as the risk associated with tinkering with the atmosphere for fear of creating unexpected side effects. The argument goes like this: the coupled atmosphere ocean system is highly complex. Therefore, it is impossible to attempt to alter one facet of the system to combat climate change without inadvertently disrupting some other part of the system.“
„Why science-fiction writers find it so hard to discuss climate tech.“
„Wherever you stand on geoengineering — whether you think it’s our only chance of survival or[nbsp]a fast track to extinction — we should[nbsp]at least consider the idea. As I argued last year, just[nbsp]studying geoengineering[nbsp]could[nbsp]teach us a lot about the climate and just talking about it could ease some lingering political tensions around climate change.“

„Geoengineering has fomented plenty of controversy as a means of[nbsp]avoiding the risks of climate change. As the argument goes, long-term plans to mitigate climate change, such as the agreement reached at the COP21 talks in Paris last month, cannot happen fast enough to prevent this global warming car-crash from occurring.“
