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.

This paper, part 1 of a 3 part series on NETs, clarifies the role of NETs in climate change mitigation scenarios, their ethical implications, as well as the challenges involved in bringing the various NETs to the market and scaling them up in time.

This paper, part 2 of a 3 part series on negative emissions, presents estimates of costs, potentials, and side-effects for negative emission technologies.

Negative emissions—Part 3: Innovation and upscaling

2018
Scholarly Work
Gregory F Nemet, Max W Callaghan, Felix Creutzig, Sabine Fuss, Jens Hartmann, Jérôme Hilaire, William F Lamb, Jan C Minx, Sophia Rogers, Pete Smith
This paper finds that if NETs are to be deployed at the levels required to meet 1.5 °C and 2 °C targets, then important post-R&D issues will need to be addressed, including incentives for early deployment, niche markets, scale-up, and demand.
