He concludes that geoengineering is not an ethically acceptable response to global climate change, and advocates instead for an approach that is primarily political rather than technological.doi:10.1057/9781137349088_29Clive HamiltonPalgrave Macmillan UKEthical Anxieties about Geoengineering."

Canada can, and should, bring important perspectives to research on solar geoengineering.As a middle power, with a credible emissions reduction plan and a long-standing commitment to international scientific cooperation,Canada is well positionedto be an honest broker in international debates on solar g...
In this context, it seems increasingly probable that states may consider solar geoengineering as a stop-gap climate response. Solar geoengineering refers to measures that aim to alleviate some measure of global warming by intentionally increasing the amount of the sun's energy that is reflected into...
It has thus become increasingly attractive among sci-entists and policymakers to consider counteracting global warming, and hence hope-fully its more deleterious impacts, through technological means. In the near future itwill likely become technologically feasible for society to lower global annual ...
Ozone mitigation by fog geoengineering has several advantages such as being a nature-like process, quick response, technological feasibility, efficacy, relatively low cost, and cooling effects. The proposed fog geoengineering to decrease the local O3 at ground level could potentially be on avenue for...
here understood as spraying a fine mist of reflective aerosols in the stratosphere to mimic the natural cooling caused by volcanic eruptions1, poses a unique challenge to governance because its apparent low direct costs and technological simplicity create a “free driver” problem, in which a small...
Roughly well-distributed global forcing, via space mirrors or SAI, is expected to produce a pronounced latitudinal gradient in temperature response, with low latitudes cooling more than high latitudes. While this tendency is also present in simulations of MSB, the regionally applied forcing can ...
Through an inte- grated assessment model that links the warming potential of PCF with the corresponding economic impacts, we demonstrate that the PCF response to geoengineering proposals is of considerable practical and political as well as ethical and technical interest. Results and discussion ...
Influence of Mineral Additives on the Technological Properties of Sealing Slurries for Geoengineering Works One of the most important factors influencing the efficiency of sealing and reinforcing the ground and rock mass with geoengineering methods is a proper se... S Stanisław,W Rafał,G Andrzej...
