本文探讨了什么样的经济体系有利于研究和部署太阳辐射管理（SRM），特别是硫基平流层气溶胶注入（SAI）。政治经济学的论点结合了道德、经济和政治假设，以得出可信的“合适”判断。在提出气候伦理的一些规范性思想后，对政治经济学的概念进行了解释。资本主义的变体是有区别的。通过调查美国经济体系与最近对SRM（尤其是SAI）的支持之间的关系，这些考虑得到了证实。这篇论文的结论是，美国经济体系与SRM有很强的亲缘关系，这得到了一个新兴机构网络的支持，该网络试图建立一个支持SRM的叙事，并启动SAI研究计划。最近有证据表明，SRM得到了政策制定者的支持。对于资本主义“绿色”变体的支持者来说，这篇文章的主要主张提供了反对sai研究的理由。文章最后还对sae研究为什么要有条件进行了一些评论。
The paper investigates what kind of economic system would favor research and deployment of Solar Radiation Management (SRM), especially sulfur based stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI). The political economy argument combines moral, economic, and political assumptions in order to reach a credible “fitting”-judgement. After presenting some normative ideas on climate ethics, the concept of political economy (PE) is explained. Variants of capitalism are distinguished. These considerations are substantiated by investigating the relation between the U.S. economic system and recent support for SRM, especially for SAI. The paper concludes that the U.S. economic system has strong affinities to SRM supported by an emerging agency network that tries to establish a pro-SRM narrative and launch SAI research initiatives. There is recent evidence that SRM has found support from policy makers. To supporters of “green” variants of capitalism, the main claims of the article provide reasons against SAI-research. The article finishes with some remarks why SAI-research should be conditional.
