Popular Mechanics: Can We Stop Modern-Day Mad Scientists?

"An American businessman made waves last month when, without asking permission, he dumped a bunch of iron sulfate into the Pacific Ocean to launch a carbon-sequestering geoengineering experiment. With these sorts of Earth-hacking ideas being floated, what's to stop a man with the means from doing it himself?"

MacMartin, Douglas G.; et al. (2012): Management of trade-offs in geoengineering through optimal choice of non-uniformradiative forcing

MacMartin, Douglas G.; Keith, David W.; Kravitz, Ben; Caldeira, Ken (2012): Management of trade-offs in geoengineering through optimal choice of non-uniformradiative forcing. In: Nature Climate change. DOI 10.1038/nclimate1722 (online first)

"Here we show that optimizing the latitudinal and seasonal distribution of solar reduction can improve the fidelity with which solar radiation management offsets anthropogenic climate change."
