Review on Oliver Morton’s book. „In this ambitious book Oliver Morton attempts a tricky task: simultaneously introducing and examining the scope of climate geoengineering; and also imagining its utopian application (not just technologically utopian, but also politically and socially)“
Diakun, Aladdin Tingling (2015): Clearing the Air on ‚Geoengineering‘ and Intellectual Property Rights. Towards a framework approach. (Master Thesis)
„To untangle the issue, this paper focuses on patents and trade secrets as the most relevant categories of intellectual property, and develops a framework within which to situate IP-related concerns, specifically as related to direct air capture, ocean iron fertilization, and stratospheric aerosol spraying. The paper shows that there is no a priori ‚yes or no‘ answer to the question of whether IPRs are desirable and appropriate for ‚geoengineering.‘ Rather, the question of whether they ought to be encouraged or discouraged is highly conditional. „
A collection of classic studies and papers on BECCS/negative emissions.
Response to Moore, John C.; et al. (2015). „Scientists think they know, in principle, how to tame hurricanes and reduce storm surge risks.“
„Australian climate scientist Tim Flannery suggests[nbsp]we could cool the climate with massive seaweed farms to[nbsp]suck carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.“
German newspaper article on ocean acidification and coral depletion. The German ministry for education and research (BMBF) sais that they do not support research into ocean liming.
„These climate scientists warned President Johnson in 1965 not just of the dangers associated with human-caused global warming, but also that we might eventually have to consider geoengineering the climate to offset that warming and the risks that we’re causing by inadvertently running a dangerous experiment with the Earth’s climate.“
„I had the pleasure of attending Carbon Engineering’s pilot plant opening on Friday, October 9 in Squamish, British Columbia. Founded in 2009, Carbon Engineering is one of the pioneering companies that is seeking to disrupt the status quo by sourcing carbon dioxide (CO2) from air.“
„Oliver Morton has written a great book about geoengineering, and that is no small achievement. Say that word aloud—“geoengineering”—and it sounds wonky and remote. But there is a good chance that “geoengineering” will soon be on the lips of every politician on this planet.“
