Informed and uninformed opinions on new measures to address climate change
Kniebes, Carola; Merk, Christine; Pönitzsch, Gert; … - 2014
Climate engineering (CE) and carbon capture and storage sub-seabed (CCS-S) are currently controversially debated …, namely, stratospheric sulphate injection (SSI) and afforestation, as well as CCS-S. Using data from a novel large … between the three measures. Afforestation is strongly favoured over CCS-S and SSI. This ranking holds independent of the …

Exploring public perception of solar radiation management
Merk, Christine; Pönitzsch, Gert; Kniebes, Carola; … - 2014
Solar radiation management (SRM) could quickly offset global warming caused by anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Because SRM would have global side effects, it raises not only technological but also political and social concerns. Therefore, SRM research should be accompanied by a global...

Knowledge about aerosol injection does not reduce individual mitigation efforts
Merk, Christine; Pönitzsch, Gert; Rehdanz, Katrin - 2015
Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) is a climate engineering (CE) method that is reputed to be very effective in cooling the planet but is also thought to involve major risks and side effects. As a new option in the bid to counter climate change, it has attracted an increasing amount of...

Exploring public perception of environmental technology over time
Braun, Carola; Rehdanz, Katrin; Schmidt, Ulrich - 2016
Public opinion has a substantial impact on political actions. However, public opinion might be driven by temporary emotions. If these emotions cool off over time, public opinion might change as well. This paper analyses how emotions drive public opinion over time for the case of an environmental...

Accounting aspects of ocean iron fertilization
Rickels, Wilfried; Rehdanz, Katrin; Oschlies, Andreas - 2009
Diminishing emission budgets and increasing risks of catastrophic damages from climate change require analyses of rapid response options including geoengineering options such as ocean iron fertilization (OIF). To decide whether or not OIF might be such an option an assessment of its potential as...

Economic prospects of ocean iron fertilization in an international carbon market
Rickels, Wilfried; Rehdanz, Katrin; Oschlies, Andreas - 2009
To stay within the 2°C temperature increase target for climate change calls for ambitious emission reduction targets already for the 2012-2020 compliance period. Cost-efficiency is a crucial criterion for the enforcement of such ambitious targets, requiring analyses of all possible abatement...

Ocean iron fertilization : why further research is needed
Güssow, Kerstin; Oschlies, Andreas; Proelß, Alexander; … - 2009
Despite large uncertainties in the fertilization efficiency, natural iron fertilization studies and some of the purposeful iron enrichment studies have demonstrated that Southern Ocean iron fertilization can lead to a significant export of carbon from the sea surface to the ocean interior. From...
