Neues Deutschland: »Wer schnell etwas machen will, trifft auf meinen Argwohn«

DE "Chemie-Nobelpreisträger Paul J. Crutzen über Geo-Engineering als Notbremse bei der Klimaerwärmung. - 2006 produzierte Paul J. Crutzen Science Fiction im buchstäblichen Sinn. Der niederländische Wissenschaftler schlug vor, Sulfatpartikel in die Stratosphäre zu befördern, um die Sonneneinstrahlung auf die Erde zu dämpfen und so die Temperatur um 0,5 Grad Celsius zu senken. Seitdem wird verstärkt Maßnahmen des »Geo-Engineerings« diskutiert – dabei geht es um Strategien, die Erderwärmung durch technische Innovationen einzuschränken oder aufzuhalten. Kürzlich hielt Crutzen den Eröffnungsvortrag auf einem Symposium über die »Grenzen menschlichen Eingreifens in die Natur« in Hamburg. Folke Havekost sprach mit ihm."

EN "Paul J. Crutzen, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry on geoengineering as an emergency brake on global warming. - 2006 Paul J. Crutzen produced science fiction in the literal sense. The Dutch scientists proposed to transport sulfate particles into the stratosphere to absorb the solar radiation on the earth and thus to reduce the temperature by 0.5 degrees Celsius. Since then more measures of "geoengineering" is being discussed - this is about strategies to reduce global warming through technological innovations or arrest. Crutzen recently gave the opening lecture at a symposium about the "limits of human intervention in nature 'in Hamburg. Folke Havekost spoke with him."
