• The Anthropocene: From Global Change to Planetary Stewardship (2011, background): “However, in contrast to emissions reduction, the problem with geoengineering is ‘‘not how to get countries to do it, (but) the fundamental question of who should decide whether and how geo-engineering should be attempted – a problem of governance’’ (Barrett 2008).”
• Climate Treaties and Approaching Catastrophes (2013, background): “32 This is one reason why ‘‘geoengineering,’’ especially the injection of reflective particles into the stratosphere, may need to be considered as a future option; see Schelling [22] and Barrett [9].”

• Why Solar Radiation Management Geoengineering and Democracy Won't Mix (2013, background): “…existing institutions The prominence of SRM in debates about geoengineering is based largely on the idea that it could be ‘cheap and effective’ compared with both carbon mitigation strategies and other geoengineering techniques (Barrett, 2008; Klepper and Rickels, 2012; McClellan et al, 2012).”
