The Ethics of Geoengineering:
Investigating the Moral Challenges of Solar Radiation Management
Interviews associated with workshop
During breaks between sessions at the October 2010 workshop, we conducted short interviews with a number of our speakers. Interviewees were asked to comment on the ethics of solar radiation management based on the following prompts:
Under what conditions could you imagine proceeding with field testing and eventual deployment of SRM?
What are the most challenging ethical issues that SRM presents?
What steps should be taken immediately to address these challenges?
