Markusson, Nils; Wong, Pak-Hang (2015): Geoengineering Governance, the Linear Model of Innovation, and the Accompanying Geoengineering Approach

Markusson, Nils; Wong, Pak-Hang (2015): Geoengineering Governance, the Linear Model of Innovation, and the Accompanying Geoengineering Approach (CGG Working Papers, 20).

„This paper aims to address the lack of critique of the linear model in geoengineering governance discourse, and to illustrate different considerations for a geoengineering governance framework that is not based on a linear model of technology innovation. Finally, we set to explore a particular approach to geoengineering governance based on Peter-Paul Verbeek’s notion of ‘technology accompaniment’.“

Tech Gen Mag: Can geoengineering save humanity from climate change?

„Leading scientists are researching climate change geoengineering fertilizers which would help carbon-consuming ocean plants grow and flourish. They are also researching machines that[nbsp]would attract and devour greenhouse gases already in the air, and even the possibility of an aerosol spray that could reflect more sunlight back into space. If it sounds too crazy to be true, you’re not alone in your opinion.“

Washington Post: The term that actually makes climate change less political

Media response to Kahan, D. M.; et al. (2015). „A[nbsp]new study, published recently in the Annals of the[nbsp]American Academy of Political and Social Science, confirms what we knew — that government[nbsp]proposals to cut greenhouse-gas emissions polarize us over climate change. But it also[nbsp]tells us of a potential policy that actually somewhat[nbsp]depolarizes[nbsp]people, while still[nbsp]getting them[nbsp]to care[nbsp]about climate change: geoengineering.“
