Justifying Climate Engineering?
- Authors
Stelzer, Harald
- Abstract
This paper analyses four justifications for the deployment of climate engineering that have evolved in the debate (cost-effectiveness, buying time, indispensability, and last resort / lesser evil). The analysis includes basic assumptions, arguments and problems of these justifications with special attention given to aspects of intergenerational justice.
