在过去几年里，气候工程伦理学的大部分工作都集中在气候干预的潜在时间轴的前端。主题包括将气候工程讨论公开的最初禁忌，开始研究前的指导方针以及首次部署前的治理安排。虽然这项工作显然很重要，但本文考虑了从考虑尾端可以收集到什么样的见解，即通过使用未来停止的要求作为任何可接受的气候工程战略的标准。在表明有时间限制的干预措施是领先的气候工程倡导者的言论的关键部分之后，本文研究了对太阳辐射管理和二氧化碳去除策略实施“停止要求”的影响。考虑停止要求的结果是揭示了很多关于现在应该发生的事情，在任何决定继续进行气候工程部署之前。
Much of the work on the ethics of climate engineering over the last few years has focused on the front-end of the potential timeline for climate intervention. Topics have included the initial taboo on bringing the discussion of climate engineering into the open, guidelines to put in place before commencing research, and governance arrangements before first deployment. While this work is clearly important, the current paper considers what insights can be gleaned from considering the tail-end, that is, by using the requirement for future cessation as a criterion for any acceptable climate engineering strategy. After showing that time-limited interventions are a key part of the rhetoric of leading climate engineering advocates, the paper examines the implications of imposing a ‘cessation requirement’ on solar radiation management and carbon dioxide removal strategies. Consideration of a cessation requirement turns out to reveal a great deal about what ought to be happening now, before any decision to proceed with climate engineering deployment has been taken.
