Failure deal with ethics make climate engineering unviable

Guardian: Research into ways to engineer the Earths climate as a last-ditch response to global warming will be rendered unviable if the associated ethical issues are not tackled first, a leading environmental philosopher has warned. Prof Stephen Gardiner, of the University of Washington, Seattle, told the Guardian that so-called geoengineering risked making problems worse for future generations. Gardiner was in Sydney for a two-day symposium that aimed to grapple with the moral and ethical consequences...

Climate engineering: Minor potential, major risk of side-effects?

ScienceDaily: With global greenhouse gas emissions continuing to increase proposals to limit the effects of climate change through the large-scale manipulation of Earth system are increasingly being discussed. Researchers at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel have now studied with computer simulations the long-term global consequences of several "climate engineering" methods. They show that all the proposed methods would either be unable to significantly reduce global warming if CO2 emissions...

Climate Engineering: What do the public think?
2014-01-13 03:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Members of the public have a negative view of climate engineering, the deliberate large-scale manipulation of the environment to counteract climate change, according to a new study. The results are from researchers from the University of Southampton and Massey University (New Zealand) who have undertaken the first systematic large-scale evaluation of the public reaction to climate engineering. The work is published in Nature Climate Change this week (12 January 2014). Some scientists think...
