A civil society briefing on Geoengineering
The notion of geoengineering the climate has been around for well over a century. Until recently, it was mostly discussed as a proposed military tool to control the weather for hostile purposes. With the onset of the growing climate crisis, the spectrum of geoengineering proposals has increased, and today, public debate about geoengineering explores whether it is a means to combat climate chang...
متن کاملof SPICE : Deliberating Geoengineering as Anticipatory Research Governance ?
In the face of the growing threat from dangerous climate change some scientists and engineers are beginning to envision and research technologies for climate geoengineering, including techniques for solar radiation management and carbon dioxide removal. As a quintessential emerging ‘upstream’ technology the human and environmental risks of geoengineering are highly uncertain, while the question...
متن کاملExploring early public responses to geoengineering.
Proposals for geoengineering the Earth's climate are prime examples of emerging or 'upstream' technologies, because many aspects of their effectiveness, cost and risks are yet to be researched, and in many cases are highly uncertain. This paper contributes to the emerging debate about the social acceptability of geoengineering technologies by presenting preliminary evidence on public responses ...
متن کاملCrafting a public for geoengineering
In a short period of time, climate 'geoengineering' has been added to the list of technoscientific issues subject to deliberative public engagement. Here, we analyse this rapid trajectory of publicization and explore the particular manner in which the possibility of intentionally altering the Earth's climate system to curb global warming has been incorporated into the field of 'public engagemen...
متن کاملGEOENGINEERING THE CLIMATE : History and Prospect 1
■ Abstract Geoengineering is the intentional large-scale manipulation of the environment, particularly manipulation that is intended to reduce undesired anthropogenic climate change. The post-war rise of climate and weather modification and the history of U.S. assessments of the CO2-climate problem is reviewed. Proposals to engineer the climate are shown to be an integral element of this histor...
