In their final briefing before the Nagoya COP10 CBD, where they will present a moratorium on geoengineering (and other hazardous technologies) ETCgroup summarizes what geoengineering.

We do not translate this briefing are as content is a summary of data presented in their 2009 report entitled Retooling the Planet: Climate Chaos in a Geoengineering Age .
A translation of this report " Réautomatiser the planet? " is already available on our pages.
For cons, the bottom of this briefing, two notes (annotating different passages of text) caught our attention. We will translate it here.
2 Note:
ETC Group does not define geoengineering exclusively through the prism of climate. Although real, the climate crisis is an excuse that arranges geoengineering. In another political context, geoengineering strategies could be applied to crises (such as water shortage or imbalance of nitrogen cycles). James Fleming noted the lack of logic to restrict the definition of a technology to its stated objectives. See James Rodger Fleming, Fixing the Sky: The Checkered History of Weather and Climate Control , New York: Columbia University Press, 2010, pp. 228-230.
3 Note:
See, for example, "Optimizing Reduction Climate Change, Carnegie Institution Department of Global Ecology, 2010, which relates to a study by Ken Caldeira and George Ban-Weiss, "how, if people decide what kind of atmosphere they wanted, they might be able to determine the aerosol distribution model that would correspond best for their climate targets;
