Cox, Emily; Spence, Elspeth; Pidgeon, Nick (2020): Incumbency, Trust and the Monsanto Effect: Stakeholder Discourses on Greenhouse Gas Removal. In environ values 29 (2), pp. 197–220. DOI: 10.3197/096327119X15678473650947.

"This paper explores factors shaping perceptions of Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR) amongst a range of informed stakeholders, with a particular focus on their role in future social and political systems. We find considerable ambivalence regarding the role of climate targets and incumbent interests in relation to GGR."

"Human intervention with the climate system has long been viewed as an ill-advised and risky step to slow global warming. But with carbon emissions soaring, initiatives to study and develop geoengineering technologies are gaining traction as a potential last resort."

"There is growing scientific interest in solar geoengineering as a possible means of combating climate change in conjunction with emissions cuts. But by foregoing debate and research on these new technologies now, political leaders may actually increase the risks of their future misuse."

"Firstly, the IPCC has a long history of dealing with geoengineering and, secondly, the IPCC performs its assessments  without endorsing any options and being based on what is available in the primary literature. Still, there is no way to deny that the way the IPCC summarises the science does have an influence on how a particular subject is subsequently discussed in policy-making."
