New Policy Approaches to Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The challenge in moving ahead with the development and implementation of climate change solutions, according to most of the academic literature, is that there are fundamental and disturbing difficulties in accepting that political and business efforts to shift the public interest in the rise in greenhouse gases (GHGs) and the environment as a whole have seem to have failed. As Olson (2009) notes, the rate of climate change seems to be accelerating. This means that the scientific fact that this needs to be addressed is “leading a growing number of people to conclude that we need to seriously consider the possibility of using geoengineering to offset and temporarily delay global...
