„My intent here is to demonstrate that – contrary to claims that climate engineering is something wholly new in scale and intent – a number of previous technological interventions have been attempted on the atmosphere, on both regional and planetary scales.“
„YOU might think that giving people free rein to experiment with technologies that could cool the planet is a recipe for chaos. But as things stand, pretty much anyone could carry out field tests at will. Most geoengineering exists in a legal void.“
Response to Tilmes, Simone; et al. (2013). „Although a significant build-up in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere would alter worldwide precipitation patterns, a widely discussed technological approach to reduce future global warming would also interfere with rainfall and snowfall, new research shows.“
„Potential benefits of geoengineering, despite attendant risks, appeal to some interests showing little concern for the seriousness of the climate change issue generally. What goes here?“

„We propose a new and more inclusive categorization into five different classes: anthropogenic emissions reductions (AER), territorial or domestic removal of atmospheric CO2 and other greenhouse gases (D‐GGR), trans‐territorial removal of atmospheric CO2 and other greenhouse gases (T‐GGR), regional to planetary targeted climate modification (TCM), and climate change adaptation measures (including local targeted climate and environmental modification, abbreviated CCAM).“
Summary of[nbsp]Hardman-Mountford, N. J.; et al (2013). „A new study suggests that plans to lock up carbon and slow climate change by adding nutrients to the ocean to encourage plankton growth might have been directed at the wrong places.“

„In this paper, we investigate the relationship between light and nutrient availability on productivity in a stratified, oligotrophic subtropical ocean ecosystem using a one-dimensional water column model coupled to a multi-plankton ecosystem model, with the goal of elucidating potential impacts of these geo-engineering approaches on ecosystem production.“

The hydrological impact of enhancing Earth’s albedo by solar radiation management is investigated using simulations from 12 Earth System models contributing to the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP).“
Debate between David Keith and Clive Hamilton. „Keith, Hamilton differ sharply on climate change proposal“
„Is our relentless quest for economic growth killing the planet? Climate scientists have seen the data – and they are coming to some incendiary conclusions.“
