I'm amazed that they did not even reference our recent article on the

The abstract says, "A literature review was carried out to identify
details of the potential ecological effects of climate engineering
techniques." but it was clearly incomplete.

Abstract
Climate change has significant implications for biodiversity and
ecosystems. With slow
progress towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions, climate
engineering (or
‘geoengineering’) is receiving increasing attention for its potential
to limit anthropogenic
climate change and its damaging effects. Proposed techniques, such as
ocean fertilization for
carbon dioxide removal or stratospheric sulfate injections to reduce
incoming solar radiation,
would significantly alter atmospheric, terrestrial and marine
environments, yet potential sideeffects of their implementation for
ecosystems and biodiversity have received little attention.
A literature review was carried out to identify details of the
potential ecological effects of
climate engineering techniques. A group of biodiversity and
environmental change
researchers then employed a modified Delphi expert consultation
technique to evaluate this
evidence and prioritize the effects based on the relative importance
of, and scientific
understanding about, their biodiversity and ecosystem consequences.
The key issues and
knowledge gaps are used to shape a discussion of the biodiversity and
ecosystem implications
of climate engineering, including novel climatic conditions,
alterations to marine systems and
substantial terrestrial habitat change. This review highlights several
current research priorities
in which the climate engineering context is crucial to consider, as
well as identifying some
novel topics for ecological investigation.
Keywords
