Interview with Ben Kravitz. „Dr. Kravitz is part of a group of scientists researching geoengineering and hoping to prevent the future negative effects of global warming. ITHP got to interview Dr. Kravitz about his work in climate modeling and research“
Su, Wenying; Loeb, Norman G.; Schuster, Gregory L.; Chin, Mian; Rose, Fred G. (2013): Global all-sky shortwave direct radiative forcing of anthropogenic aerosols from combined satellite observations and GOCART simulations. In J. Geophys. Res. Atmos. 118 (2), pp. 655–669. DOI 10.1029/2012JD018294.
Aerosol study connected to SRM. „We combine 3-hourly cloud properties from satellite retrievals with two aerosol data sets to calculate the all-sky aerosol direct radiative effect (DRE), which is the mean radiative perturbation due to the presence of both natural and anthropogenic aerosols.“

The IPCC Working Group I included a paragraph on CE in its contribution to the Fith Assessment Report (AR5) published on 27.09.2013. Newspapers and blogs responded. (2nd update, 03.10.)
„Some scientists are saying the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is overly conservative and fails to mention some of the most worrisome possible scenarios. The panel, they contend, is no longer fulfilling its mission of informing policy makers of the risks of global warming.“

Response to economics in IPCC Assessment Report. With a comment on CE.
„This public debate on geoengineering research will bring leading scientists and campaigners together with members of the public to explore the complex ethical and political questions associated with research on climate engineering, to debate the motion: ‘We need to do more research on geoengineering.’“

„Despite the history of military attempts to control weather and environmental conditions, it is important not to simplify geoengineering security concerns, nor to overstate potential military responses.“
