Abstract
Public views and values about solar geoengineering should be incorporated
in science‐policy decisions, if decision makers want to act in the public
interest. In reflecting on the past decade of research, we review around 30
studies investigating public familiarity with, and views about, solar
geoengineering. A number of recurring patterns emerge: (1) general
unfamiliarity with geoengineering among publics; (2) the importance of
artifice versus naturalness; (3) some conditional support for certain kinds
of research; and (4) nuanced findings on the “moral hazard” and “reverse
moral hazard” hypotheses, with empirical support for each appearing under
different circumstances and populations. We argue that in the coming
decade, empirical social science research on solar geoengineering will be
crucial, and should be integrated with physical scientific research.
