Motherboard: How Whales Geoengineer the Oceans for Us

„Whales may seem an unlikely tool for manipulating the planet’s climate, but it turns out they can play a major role in doing exactly that. Or rather, their excrement can. It sounds outlandish, but new research suggests whale feces may be among our best hopes for coaxing Earth’s oceans to suck up more carbon.“

Earthwise: Geoengineering: Not A Quick Fix

„The notion is that if our efforts to combat climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions are too little or too late, we may have to try to change the climate deliberately.“

Slate: Terraforming Earth. Geoengineering doesn’t have to be science fiction.

„But to say that we were “terraforming Earth” was painfully ironic, suggesting as it did that we had damaged our home planet so badly we now needed to take drastic steps to restore it to itself. When geoengineering entered the lexicon, many bristled at the word’s hubristic implication that we had the knowledge and power to engineer anything so large and complex as our planet.“
