"In this paper, we reflect on our involvement in one of the first major research projects in the emerging area of geoengineering. [...] Geoengineering is unavoidably entangled in a political discussion that scientists should seek to understand and engage with."

"But trying to resolve the problem through “geoengineering” could result in monsoonal rains in North America, East Asia, and other regions dropping by 5-7 percent compared to preindustrial conditions. Globally, average precipitation could decrease by about 4.5 percent."

"The notion of using geoengineering is moving from fringe idea to mainstream discussion."

"The call for prudence by Schäfer et al. (Nature Clim. Change 3, 766; 2013) in relation to field tests of solar climate engineering is welcome. We applaud their effort to help establish informal norms to stifle counterproductive experimentation. However, we should be careful to make sure that what is called ‘prudence’ does not hamper beneficial scientific and technical investigation."
