„This chapter describes some international law which is applicable to climate engineering, with a focus on international environmental law. It closes with a brief synthesis and some recommendations for future developments.“

„Here, the gross primary productivity (GPP) response of tropical rainforests to climate engineering via marine sky brightening under a future scenario is investigated in three Earth system models. The model response is diverse, and in two of the three models, the tropical GPP shows a decrease from the marine sky brightening climate engineering.“
„“I, for one, am concerned with the continuing rise in CO2 concentrations without clear attempts to decrease emissions,” said Joyce Penner, one of the scientists, in a news release.“
„A new study from a group of Carnegie scientists determines that these types of pipes could actually increase global warming quite drastically.“
„In this program we talk with one of the world’s top experts on geoeningeering to cool the planet, Harvard’s Dr. David Keith. Then from the UK, Dr. Rose Cairns investigates the internet phenomenon of chemtrails, the belief that aircraft are already poisoning the sky.“
„[…] society is no longer at the point where ignorance about albedo modification is acceptable.“
Media response to Kwiatkowski, Lester; et al. (2015). „Ocean heat-exchange pipes would drive more warming in the long run“

On negative emissions/BECCS. „Both of the Shell New Lens scenarios end in a[nbsp] net zero emissions outcome by the end of the century, but this is within the energy system itself and does not encompass the full range of other sources of CO2 emissions and other long lived greenhouse gases.“
Media response to Kwiatkowski, Lester; et al. (2015). „The team, which also included lead author Lester Kwiatkowski as well as Katharine Ricke, configured a model to test this idea and what they found surprised them.“
