Wigley, Tom (2014): Why nuclear power may be the only way to avoid geoengineering
Wigley, Tom (2014): Why nuclear power may be the only way to avoid geoengineering. In Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. DOI 10.1177/0096340214531174.
„In this interview, climate scientist Tom Wigley says that waiting to take significant action on climate change makes it more likely that geoengineering will be needed to address the problem.“
Schaller, N.; et al. (2014): The asymmetry of the climate systems response to solar forcing changes and its implications for geoengineering scenarios
Schaller, N.; Sedláček, J.; Knutti, R. (2014): The asymmetry of the climate system’s response to solar forcing changes and its implications for geoengineering scenarios. In J. Geophys. Res. Atmos., pp. n/a. DOI 10.1002/2013JD021258.
„Motivated by proposals to compensate CO2-induced warming with a decrease in solar radiation, this study investigates how single forcing simulations should be combined to best represent the spatial patterns of surface temperature and precipitation of idealised geoengineering scenarios.“
The Royal Society – In Verba: New kid on the block: geoengineering and the IPCC
„The past few months represent an important step forward for our understanding of climate change, with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) publishing two eagerly-awaited contributions to its Fifth Assessment Report. With the third and final thematic report launched yesterday, one distinction between this set of reports and their 2007 predecessors is clear: the conspicuousness of geoengineering.“

„The world’s leading climate scientists are considering a plan to remove carbon dioxide emissions from the atmosphere in an effort to stem global warming.“
The Verge: Why wont the UN talk about climate engineering?
„But among the broad range of options, there’s one word that’s found nowhere in the document: geoengineering.“
