As researchers concluded in a new study published in Geophysical Research Letters, ocean iron fertilization can only prove successful as a climate geoengineering approach if, in addition to phytoplankton bloom stimulation, «a proportion of the particulate organic carbon (POC) produced must sink down the water column and reach the main thermocline or deeper before being remineralized... and the third phase is long - term sequestration of the carbon at depth out of contact with the atmosphere.»

Although we can not predict specific impacts of geoengineering with much confidence, we can fruitfully consider the conditions under which geoengineering research would be justified (or not), and ethical theory provides a wealth of resources to sift through the value judgments that arguments for (or against) research inevitably involve.

But we should not ignore the ethical issues bound up with the justification and conduct of geoengineering research.

Geoengineering research proponent Ken Caldeira has said «the vision of Lomborg's Climate Consensus is «a dystopic world out of a science fiction story... Geoengineering is not an alternative to carbon emissions reductions... If emissions keep going up and up, and you use geoengineering as a way to deal with it, it's pretty clear the endgame of that process is pretty ugly&Geoengineering research proponent Ken Caldeira has said «the vision of Lomborg's Climate Consensus is «a dystopic world out of a science fiction story...

The arguments raised against such a concern by advocates for geoengineering research often include ones from three groups: first, largely semantic objections to the term «moral hazard»; second, arguments that taking on more climate risk would be the rational response; and third, claims that experience with the adaptation debate somehow disproves the effect.
