Dear Oswald--For the benefit of others in the discussion, what my follow-ups with you suggested was that the real key to quickly getting the temperature reductions that you are talking about would be iron aerosol injection to bring the methane concentration down to its preindustrial level. As

Clive, I wa a little rude I think .. so apologies are in order. Rob wood is right ( I would ay that as I taught him meteorology when he came to do his PhD) , so I am very biased!! Danny Rosenfeld has always argued that if we seed spray of the right size all over the oceanic high pressure

Hi Alan,I was somewhat startled when I first saw you present an analysis at an HPAC meeting last year about the central role of water vapor. Are there published papers that support the case that water vapor is a much more important GHG than CO2? And if so do these or other papers examine the

Sorry. I keep emphasising this. H2O is the biggest greenhouse gas contributing ~ 51% of the warming, CO2 is ~ 19%. So with clausius clapeyron, for each degree C rise we have 7% more water vapour ( therefore approx a 3.5%) larger contribution. With 3C which we will be at in about 20years at

Dear Colleagues, An outstanding and extremely informative interview with Doug MacMartin IMO on SAI (with some comments on MCB) shared recently by Andrew (thank you!): https://www.youtube.com/live/_JBLMsXNmhs?si=3qoDl1RNLS4zb_zc who has also asked and posted in the geoengineering google group a

Oswald, It’s fine in theory to say “All we have to do is remove the GHG which cause Global Warming” but few people believe it can be scaled up fast enough to avoid tipping points, worsening climatic effects etc. How do you think it can be done fast enough? Best wishes Chris.
