ABSTRACT

Solar Radiation Management (SRM) is a proposed response to Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW). Other papers consider private SRM provision, e.g. via Voluntary Carbon Offsets (VCO). Limited VCO markets would under-supply SRM, so state provision or mandating is possible. Public funding does not presume state execution; private subcontracting is feasible. Notwithstanding concerns about privatization, we assume state commissioning of SRM – proposing and analyzing plausible governance, by adapting extant proposals. We consider two regulatory functions: legal/corporate; and scientific/technical. We briefly discuss mandatory, emissions-linked SRM funding. State contracting is deemed plausible, e.g. for historic emissions. For future emissions, mandatory polluter-pays SRM may be preferable.

摘要

太阳辐射管理（SRM）是对人为全球变暖（AGW）的拟议回应。其他论文也考虑了私人SRM规定，例如通过自愿碳补偿（VCO）。有限的VCO市场将供应不足的SRM，因此可以提供州规定或强制性规定。公共资金不假定国家处于执行状态；私人分包是可行的。尽管存在私有化的担忧，我们还是假设SRM处于州政府委托运行状态-通过调整现有建议来提出和分析合理的治理。我们考虑两种监管职能：法律/公司职能；和科学/技术。我们简要讨论了与排放挂钩的强制性SRM资金。国家签约被认为是合理的，例如历史排放。对于将来的排放，强制性污染者付费SRM可能更可取。
