New York Times: Climate Tools Seek to Bend Nature’s Path
On Olivine and other CE methods. „Olivine has been doing this naturally for billions of years, but Dr. Schuiling wants to speed up the process by spreading it on fields and beaches and using it for dikes, pathways, even sandboxes. Sprinkle enough of the crushed rock around, he says, and it will eventually remove enough CO2 to slow the rise in global temperatures.“
thestar.com: Many experts say technology cant fix climate change
„There are several geoengineering schemes for fixing climate change, but so far none seems a sure bet.“

Zhang, Yanzhu; Posch, Alfred (2014): The Wickedness and Complexity of Decision Making in Geoengineering. In Challenges 5 (2), pp. 390–408. DOI 10.3390/challe5020390.
„The intertwined sociotechnical complexity and conflicting attitudes make geoengineering a wicked and complex issue. This article elaborates the wickedness and complexity from a system perspective, primarily for an interdisciplinary, policy-oriented audience.“
the guardian: Geoengineering could prevent climate effects caused by giant volcanic eruptions
Media response to[nbsp]Fuglestvedt, Jan S.; et al. (2014). „Shooting huge amounts of non-ozone-harming greenhouse gases into the atmosphere could counteract vast volcanic sulphur clouds that cause perpetual winters, new research suggests“
Fuglestvedt, Jan S.; et al. (2014): Counteracting the climate effects of volcanic eruptions using short-lived greenhouse gases
Fuglestvedt, Jan S.; Samset, Bjørn H.; Shine, Keith P. (2014): Counteracting the climate effects of volcanic eruptions using short-lived greenhouse gases. In Geophys. Res. Lett., pp. n/a. DOI 10.1002/2014GL061886.
„We show, for the first time, that it may be possible to counteract these climate effects through deliberate emissions of short-lived greenhouse gases, dampening the abrupt impact of an eruption. […] Unlike the more commonly-discussed geoengineering to mitigate warming from long-lived greenhouse gases, designed emissions to counter temporary cooling would not have the disadvantage of needing to be sustained over long periods.“
the guardian: Geoengineering: the ethical problems with cleaning the air
„Intervening in climate change currently raises more questions than answers when it comes to manipulating the atmosphere“
Li, Tongyan; et al. (2014): Carbon dioxide removal by using Mg(OH)2 in a bubble column: Effects of various operating parameters
Li, Tongyan; Keener, Tim C.; Cheng, Lei (2014): Carbon dioxide removal by using Mg(OH)2 in a bubble column: Effects of various operating parameters. In International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control 31, pp. 67–76. DOI 10.1016/j.ijggc.2014.09.027.
„The present work includes the absorption of CO2 with Mg(OH)2 slurry in a bubble column reactor under semi-batch mode.“
Knox, Sara Helen; et al. (2014): Agricultural peatland restoration: effects of land-use change on greenhouse gas (CO2 and CH4 ) fluxes
Knox, Sara Helen; Sturtevant, Cove; Matthes, Jaclyn Hatala; Koteen, Laurie; Verfaillie, Joseph; Baldocchi, Dennis (2014): Agricultural peatland restoration: effects of land-use change on greenhouse gas (CO2 and CH4 ) fluxes in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. In Global Change Biology. DOI 10.1111/gcb.12745.
Linked to terrestrial CDR. „This study suggests that converting drained agricultural peat soils to flooded land-use types can help reduce or reverse soil subsidence and reduce GHG emissions.“
