Boyd, Philip W. (2016): Development of geopolitically-relevant ranking criteria for geoengineering methods. In Earth’s Future, n/a‐n/a. DOI 10.1002/2016EF000447.

"Here, I use the Pinatubo archives to develop a range of geopolitically-relevant ranking criteria for a suite of different geoengineering approaches. The criteria focus on the spatial scales needed for geoengineering, and whether large-scale dispersal is a necessary requirement for a technique to deliver significant cooling or carbon dioxide reductions. These categories in turn inform whether geoengineering approaches are amenable to participation (the ‘democracy of geoengineering’), and whether they will lead to transboundary issues which could precipitate geopolitical conflicts."

Press release on a German brochure on climate politics. "In their joint publication, "A change of course: How to build a fair future in a 1.5 degree world," the three organizations present the dangers posed by global warming to food security and ecosystems and analyze so-called negative emission technologies such as geoengineering, offsetting of emissions, and BECCS (bioenergy with carbon capture and storage). In contrast to these questionable technologies, the policies to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees – as stipulated in the Paris Agreement – that are presented in the joint publication are not only geared toward climate mitigation but also put poverty reduction and  climate justice at the center of attention."

News article on Woolf, Dominic; et al. (2016). "An economically viable model to scrub carbon dioxide from the atmosphere has been developed to thwart runaway, point-of-no-return global warming. The researchers propose using a “bioenergy-biochar system” that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in an environmental pinch, until other removal methods become economically feasible and in regions where other methods are impractical."
