近年来，太阳能地球工程或故意改变气候受到越来越多的关注。考虑到任何潜在的太阳能地球工程部署的深远影响，在研究过程的各个阶段确定固有的偏见、盲点和其他潜在的问题是谨慎的。在这里，我们阐述了一个以女权主义科学为基础的框架，具体描述了太阳能地球工程研究人员如何能够更包容不同的观点和潜在的矛盾结论，在这个过程中阐明潜在的隐性偏见，并加强从他们的研究中获得的结论。重要的是，该框架是一种可采用的实践方法，可以进行改进，目的是在太阳能地球工程中进行更好的研究。作为说明，我们回顾性地将这一框架应用于一项广泛阅读的太阳能地球工程研究（也由本研究的第一作者领导），通过揭示其隐含的价值、从证据基础得出的结论以及研究所追求的方法来提高透明度。最后，我们为地球工程研究界提出了一系列建议，使更具包容性的研究成为实践的常规部分。在整个过程中，我们说明了女权主义科学学者如何使用这种方法来研究气候建模。
Solar geoengineering, or deliberate climate modification, has been receiving increased attention in recent years. Given the far-reaching consequences of any potential solar geoengineering deployments, it is prudent to identify inherent biases, blind spots, and other potential issues at all stages of the research process. Here we articulate a feminist science-based framework to concretely describe how solar geoengineering researchers can be more inclusive of different perspectives and potentially contradictory conclusions, in the process illuminating potential implicit bias and enhancing the conclusions that can be gained from their studies. Importantly, this framework is an adoptable method of practice that can be refined, with the aim of conducting better research in solar geoengineering. As an illustration, we retrospectively apply this framework to a well-read solar geoengineering study (also led by the first author of this study), improving transparency by revealing its implicit values, conclusions made from its evidence base, and the methodologies that study pursues. We conclude with a set of recommendations for the geoengineering research community whereby more inclusive research can become a regular part of practice. Throughout this process, we illustrate how feminist science scholars can use this approach to study climate modeling.
