除二氧化碳外，越来越清楚的是，在今天的气候系统中，还有许多其他人为强迫的强大因素（如甲烷，臭氧，黑碳）。气候变化的典型伦理框架尚未适应这种复杂性。此外，地球工程经常被作为一个计划B，将简单地对抗无意的（和积极的）人为强迫与有意的（和消极的）人为强迫。本文试图通过概述一个减少所有人为强迫的伦理框架来更好地解决这一复杂性，这一立场被称为“气候必要性”。“这篇论文考虑了地球工程以及其他各种人为强迫活动，并讨论了气候必要性对每一种活动的影响。根据这一分析，减少温室气体和炭黑仍然是一个优先事项。与此同时，框架揭示了通过太阳辐射管理和通过二氧化碳去除的地球工程之间的重大道德差异。
In addition to carbon dioxide, it is becoming increasingly clear that there are numerous other potent agents of anthropogenic forcing (e.g. methane, ozone, black carbon) at work in the climate system today. The typical ethical framing of climate change has not yet accommodated this complexity. In addition, geoengineering has often been presented as a Plan B that would simply counter unintentional (and positive) anthropogenic forcing with intentional (and negative) anthropogenic forcing. This paper attempts to better address the complexity by outlining an ethical framework for reducing all anthropogenic forcing, a position it labels the 'climate imperative.' The paper considers geoengineering alongside various other anthropogenic forcing activities and discusses what the climate imperative would say about each of them. On this analysis, GHG and black carbon reductions remain a priority. At the same time, the framing reveals a significant ethical difference between geoengineering through solar radiation management and through carbon dioxide removal.
