„But these technologies, some of them currently unproven, do not amount to a miraculous solution and now the scientists are telling it like it is. Studies of geo-engineering – trying to manipulate the climate artificially – have found that the knock-on effects are very complicated.“
„If you read our news, you know we keep writing about reversing climate change by re-building soil either through[nbsp]applying compost, moving to organic agriculture or bringing back herds of grazing animals. Could it be catching on? We’ve heard about three programs – one[nbsp]starting in the US, one in Kenya and another in Australia.“

„Imagine the trouble that would ensue if China resorted to desperate measures to cool its climate but the result was that the Indian Monsoon suddenly failed.“
Findings from IAGP project online available. „Integrating physical, engineering and social sciences to construct a framework for assessing effectiveness and side effects of geoengineering proposals.“
Call for abstracts for the EGU Assembly. „This session will present new findings from studies involving Stratospheric Aerosol Injections, Marine Sky Brightening and Cirrus Cloud Thinning. Contributions from the Geoengineering Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP) and other climate model and impact studies are welcome.“
„Is this an approach we should seriously consider in preference to reducing the dependence our economy and way of life has upon carbon dispersal? Does it make more sense to reject the development and scaling of provably safe technologies and instead put our trust in what might be a reckless, irreversible gamble?“
„Schemes to tackle climate change could prove disastrous for billions of people, but might be required for the good of the planet, scientists say.“
