„The scientists had whipped themselves into a frenzy. Gathered in a stuffy conference room in the bowels of a hotel in Berlin, scores of respected climate researchers, mostly middle-aged, mostly white, and mostly men, were arguing about a one-page document that had tentatively been[nbsp]christened the[nbsp] “Berlin Declaration.”[nbsp]It proposed ground rules for conducting experiments to explore how we might artificially cool the Earth—planet hacking, basically.“

„This paper reviews the recent regulatory developments relating to transboundary carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) activities and regulation of ocean fertilization and other marine geoengineering activities arising from the work and agreements under the London Protocol from 2010 to 2013.“
„As peachy as it sounds, climate hacking runs[nbsp]into two problems: first, an affordable and well-understood solution to climate change already exists, and second, geoengineering poses massive risks. Out of the methods that can be used for climate hacking, solar radiation management is a favorite, which also happens to be the most dangerous as well.“
„With[nbsp]urban populations expected to continue growing, cities’[nbsp]exposure to climate change[nbsp]will only get worse unless[nbsp]they[nbsp]break away from[nbsp]this GHG-emitting[nbsp]status quo. Fortunately, the emerging field of carbon dioxide removal (“CDR”) offers hope.“
„Welcome to the first annual edition of the Everything and the Carbon Sink carbon dioxide removal (“CDR”)[nbsp]New Year’s[nbsp]review/preview post! This post highlights my take on the most significant advances[nbsp]in the CDR field from the past year, and my expectations for how the field might develop[nbsp]in 2015.“
Conference 25-26.06.2015. „We invite scholars from media [&] culture studies, environmental studies, geography, history [&] philosophy of sciences and the humanities to present and discuss climate change and its simulation paradigms in its present and historical dimensions. We invite concrete case studies that deal with aspects of the outlined scenarios as well theoretical contributions that question the cultural and epistemological conditions and effects of a simulation-based order of knowledge.“
„There are two problems with this argument. The first is that we already have an affordable solution with a relatively well-understood outcome: reducing our carbon emissions. The second is that geoengineering itself is fraught with danger and that, worryingly, the most dangerous version, called solar radiation management, is also the most popular with those exploring this field.“
