Living the global social experiment : an analysis of public discourse on solar radiation management and its implications for governance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine current debates on solar radiation management governance, clarifying a number of assumptions that persist and why these require further scrutiny, and articulate a more critical role that the social sciences should be playing in public engagement with solar radiation managements.
Book ChapterDOI

Social, Economic, and Ethical Concepts and Methods

TL;DR: The authors provided a frame-work for viewing and understanding the human perspective on climate change, focusing on ethics and economics; and to define climate change from a social perspective. But they did not consider the economic perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crafting a public for geoengineering

TL;DR: This work explores 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 engagement with science’.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mapping the landscape of climate engineering.

TL;DR: It is concluded that bibliometric monitoring techniques can play an important role in the anticipatory governance of climate engineering.
