Feetham, P. M.; Wright, M. J.; Teagle, D. H.; Comrie, M. A. (2016): Qualitative Evaluations of New Scientific Concepts: Accurate, Fast, Easy and Inexpensive (Australian and New Zealand Marketing Academy Conference).

"This research reports a case where the findings of an independent qualitative study were clearly supported by subsequent quantitative research. [...] The qualitative results illustrated an overall negative reaction to the four concepts tested with solar reflection techniques viewed more negatively than carbon dioxide removal techniques. Large online surveys across two countries gave strikingly similar results, verifying the robustness of the qualitative study."

In Scott Barrett, Carlo Carraro, Jaime de Melo (Eds.): Towards a workable and effective climate regime. London: Centre for Economic Policy Research, pp. 353–365.

"With the 2°C target likely to be crossed later this century, this chapter argues that it is now time to consider solar and carbon geoengineering as well. Carbon geoengineering offers the option of a true backstop and provides a ceiling to the costs of managing climate change."

"Using the state-of-the-art emissions-driven Max-Planck-Institute Earth system model, we explore the impacts of artificial ocean alkalinization (AOA) with a scenario based on the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) framework. Addition of 114 Pmol of alkalinity to the surface ocean stabilizes atmospheric CO₂ concentration to RCP4.5 levels under RCP8.5 emissions."

"Energy projects that employ carbon capture and storage (CCS) systems have struggled to gain wide-scale adoption over the past decade, despite receiving billions of dollars in subsidies from governments around the world. That said, a new generation of carbon capture projects has begun to emerge, offering hope that this technology can live up to its promise as a cost-effective tool in the fight against climate change. Here are three ways that this new generation of projects is changing the conversation on CCS."
