I removed the section, as there is a reasonble question as to whether governance is possible or desirable, especially when noting the claim above that a wealthy individual could do some of this. Section quoted below (with the raw URL references replaced by external links, for readability.

There is presently a lack of a universally-agreed framework for the regulation of either geoengineering activity or research. The London Dumping Convention addresses some aspects of the law in relation to biomass ocean storage and ocean fertilization. The Oxford Martin School at Oxford University has a programme to evaluate geoengineering governance. The 'Oxford Principles' have resulted from this work:

• Principle 1: Geoengineering to be regulated as a public good.
• Principle 2: Public participation in geoengineering decision-making
• Principle 3: Disclosure of geoengineering research and open publication of results
• Principle 4: Independent assessment of impacts
• Principle 5: Governance before deployment

These principles have been endorsed by the UK House of Commons Science and Technology Select Committee on “The Regulation of Geoengineering” http://www.geoengineering.ox.ac.uk/oxford-principles/history/ , and have been referred to by authors discussing the issue of governance. http://www.economist.com/node/15814427

The Asilomar conference was replicated to deal with the issue of geoengineering governance http://www.economist.com/node/15814427, and was made into a TV documentary programme, broadcast in Canada. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arthur Rubin (talk • contribs) 18:24, 9 August 2012

“In 2023, a modified proposal was tabled. It was proposed that an installation of underwater "curtains", made of a flexible material and anchored to the Amundsen Sea floor would be able to interrupt warm water flow while reducing costs and increasing their longevity (conservatively estimated at 25 years for curtain elements and up to 100 years for the foundations) relative to more rigid structures.”

Tabled has a completely opposite meaning in British English as it does in American English, “proposed” would be a better word. AWobblyFriend (talk) 21:48, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you and have changed it. EMsmile (talk) 07:44, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the "further reading" list because I don't think it adds value here and it's also rather arbitrary. If these publications are highly useful then rather use them for new text with in-line citations:
