Rachael Shwom, Rutgers University – discussion of Cusack, Daniela F.; et al. (2014). „In reviewing major comprehensive government reports on climate engineering it was all too often that I would search “ethics” or “public attitudes” and find only a single page or paragraph of hundreds of pages dedicated to these issues.“
„A geo-engineering response to climate change will cause enormous problems. Who is authorized to act on Earth-wide bio-geo-chemical systems?“
„It’s time to explore whether geoengineering can reverse Antarctic ice loss.“
„BECCS has been lampooned in many forums as ‘geoengineering’ with all the disastrous side effects which that entails.“

„We budget potential CO2 sequestration against associated CO2 emissions to assess the net CO2 removal of terrestrial enhanced weathering.“
„An oil refinery owned by Exxon. The firm has acknowledged the existence of climate change in funding a report which concluded that geo-engineering through sulphur aerosol spraying would be a cheaper response to global warming than would phasing out fossil fuels.“
