Dear Maiken, I can’t but give you my personal opinion: the people who wrote in the blog have constantly demanded that governments and public research institutions not fund research into geoengineering at all. That’s the whole goal of the website on which the article is hosted (they also demand that the IPCC should self-censor itself on the topic, and that researchers should lose their job over their research. It’s in the letter hosted on the website and you can look it up). With that in mind, the authors move to accuse researchers of shady goals not because that’s what they say or state publicly or privately, but because they take funding for their research from sources the two authors see as having those goals in mind. You can see the trap for yourself. If you want to hear directly from the researchers, you can find a couple of opinion pieces I have been involved in (many more can be found around from different sets of researchers).
