Gardiner, S.; et al. (2019): Geoengineering, Political Legitimacy and Justice

Gardiner, S.; Fragnière, A. (2019): Geoengineering, Political Legitimacy and Justice. In: Ethics, Policy & Environment 21 (3), S. 265–269. DOI: 10.1080/21550085.2018.1562524.

"Technologies which might be deployed to attempt geoengineering are either speculative or only in the very early stages of development. [...] Despite their speculative nature, discussion of geoengineering technologies is growing rapidly in science and policy circles. Having for decades largely been dismissed as irrelevant or counterproductive to serious discussion, some now advocate for geoengineering techniques as possible ‘tools in the toolkit’ for future climate action. "

Petersen, Arthur C. (2014): The Emergence of the Geoengineering Debate Within The IPCC (Case Study)

Petersen, Arthur C. (2014): The Emergence of the Geoengineering Debate Within The IPCC (Case Study) (Geoengineering Our Climate? Working Paper and Opinion Article Series).

"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."
