Billions of individuals always are already engaged in an on-going, essentially unplanned, and still uncontrolled (with regard to the negative impact of ...

Damages due to climate change are expected to increase with global warming, which could be limited directly by solar geoengineering. Here we analyse the views of 723 negotiators and scientists who are involved in international climate policy-making and who will have a considerable influence on whethe...
In the mid-1980s, Teller started thinking about climate change. He didn't trust human institutions to develop the capability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. So he wondered are there technical means to address the climate change problem which wouldn't require changes in human institutions or h...
But this solution is not as simple as proponents would have us believe. Betting on climate engineering — either as a planetary insurance policy or as a last-ditch measure to combat rising temperatures — is not only risky; it also directs attention ...
1.Engineering that involves large-scale manipulation of the earth's environment, especially as applied to climate change caused by global warming, as in sequestering carbon or increasing the amount of solar radiation reflected from the earth back into space. ...

Offsetting of warmth may not counteract all of the effects of climate change, including those on ocean chemistry, and it may result in unintended side effects. The moral critique of geoengineering is that the proposals may give developed countries an excuse to continue CO2 pollution and avoid ...

Despite concerns about them, GGR and SRM are increasingly discussed as crucial complements to traditional climate change mitigation. Others routinely dismiss both SRM and GGR methods as a distraction from mitigation, or even as a potential moral hazard that induces complacency in reducing emissions. ...
