It is not as controversial as, for example, geoengineering schemes that fall into the category of solar radiation management.

The runaway greenhouse: implications for future climate change, geoengineering and planetary atmospheres

Sep 13, 2012 - The ultimate climate emergency is a ‘runaway greenhouse’: a hot and water-vapour-rich atmosphere limits the emission of thermal radiation to space, causing runaway warming. Warming ceases only after the surface reaches approximately 1400 K and

Regional climate change mitigation with crops: context and assessment

Sep 13, 2012 - The intention of this review is to place crop albedo biogeoengineering in the wider picture of climate manipulation. Crop biogeoengineering is considered within the context of the long-term modification of the land surface for agriculture over

Accelerating the carbon cycle: the ethics of enhanced weathering

Apr 30, 2017 - Enhanced weathering, in comparison to other geoengineering measures, creates the possibility of a reduced cost, reduced impact way of decreasing atmospheric carbon, with positive knock-on effects such as decreased oceanic acidity. We argue that

Ocean fertilization: a potential means of geoengineering?

Aug 29, 2008 - The oceans sequester carbon from the atmosphere partly as a result of biological productivity. Over much of the ocean surface, this productivity is limited by essential nutrients and we discuss whether it is likely that sequestration can be enhanced

Process-model simulations of cloud albedo enhancement by aerosols in the Arctic

Dec 28, 2014 - A cloud-resolving model is used to simulate the effectiveness of Arctic marine cloud brightening via injection of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), either through geoengineering or other increased sources of Arctic aerosols. An updated cloud
