Blurred Lines: The Ethics and Policy of Greenhouse Gas Removal at Scale

2018
Scholarly Work
Emily M. Cox, Nick Pidgeon, Elspeth Spence, Gareth Thomas
This paper proposes moving beyond classifying climate strategies as a set of discrete categories, toward a prioritization of questions of scale of both technology and decision-making in the examination of social and ethical risks.

Geoengineering Research Under U.S. Law

2018
Scholarly Work
Norman Carlin, Robert A. James
This article examines the principles of domestic United States law applicable to geoengineering research projects and walks through a theoretical analysis for an environmental impact statement under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
