Huffington Post: A Sunshade to help Southern Africa Cope with Climate Change?
„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.“
Call for Papers: Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies (GHGT) conference
Deadline: 10. February 2016
„The GHGT conference series has established itself as the principal international conference on greenhouse gas mitigation technologies especially on CCS (CO2 Capture and Storage).“
Cli-Sci Blog: Geoengineering – It’s all just smoke and mirrors
„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.“

Grist: Geoengineering simulation lets us play with the future
„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.“

Tripple Pundit: Can Geoengineering Help Solve the Middle East’s Water Woes?
„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.“
