"international law is currently insufficiently tailored to the particular
assessment challenges posed by geoengineering."
So too is it ill equipped to assess the "potentially significant [positive]
environmental, social and ethical impacts" and to weigh these against the
potential negatives, as well as against the cost/risk/benefit of other actions
and inactions. Meantime, there seems to be an abundance of prosecutors in such
cases, where is the defense?

25 November 2015Climate Law 5, 111–141 (2015)Geoengineering is moving from
modelling to field experiments, with potentially significant environmental,
social and ethical impacts. Impact assessments are normally undertaken to
determine the risks of such activities. But new research suggests international
law is currently insufficiently tailored to the particular assessment
challenges posed by geoengineering.Subject terms:Ethics--
