Minx, Jan C.; Lamb, William F.; Callaghan, Max W.; Fuss, Sabine; Hilaire, Jérôme; Creutzig, Felix et al. (2018): Negative emissions—Part 1. Research landscape and synthesis. In Environ. Res. Lett. 13 (6), p. 63001. DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/aabf9b.

"Here, we synthesize a comprehensive body of NETs literature, using scientometric tools and performing an in-depth assessment of the quantitative and qualitative evidence therein. We clarify the role of NETs in climate change mitigation scenarios, their ethical implications, as well as the challenges involved in bringing the various NETs to the market and scaling them up in time."

"More broadly, the controversy illustrated long‐standing arguments about the desirability and feasibility of ocean fertilisation as a geoengineering response to the threat of anthropogenic climate change. Using the HSRC case, this paper reports a novel situated study of public perceptions of geoengineering that combines ethnographic engagement with Q‐methodology."

"As pointed out in the book of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Thomas Freidman, Hot, Flat and Crowded, our climate and energy crisis are interconnected – we can’t solve one without addressing the other. As ordinary citizens, we can do a big part in energy conservation and by changing our lifestyle that it is not energy expensive."

"Using a chemistry-transport model, we quantify the steady-state response of three public health risks to 1 °C global mean surface cooling. We separate impacts into those which are “radiative forcing-driven”, associated with climate change “reversal” through modification of global radiative forcing, and those “direct impacts” associated uniquely with using sulfate geoengineering to achieve this. We find that the direct (non-radiative forcing driven) impact is a decrease in global mortality of ∼13,000 annually."
