World Needs Climate Emergency Backup Plan, Says Expert In submitted testimony to the British Parliament, climate scientist Ken Caldeira of the Carnegie Institution said that while steep cuts in carbon emissions are essential to stabilizing global climate, there also needs to be a backup plan. Geoengineering solutions such as injecting dust into the atmosphere are risky, but may become necessary if emissions cuts are insufficient to stave off catastrophic warming. He urged that research into the pros and cons of geoengineering be made a high priority. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7mWvkBSPio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlxhY1ISb5s&feature=channel Dave Webb: Geo-engineering - Parts 1, 2 and 3, around 28 mins total. Crisis Forum: Climate Change and Violence Workshop Series. Workshop 1: Climate Catastrophe, where are we heading? Friday 14 November 2008 University of Southampton Prof. Dave Webb (Praxis Centre, Leeds Metropolitan University, and Vice Chair CND) 'Geo-engineering and its implications' Gives overview of various geoengineering options, claiming OIF could remove as much as one third of CO2 and between 5 and 30,000 Flettner vessels would be needed. Slides are unreadable. Audio quality varies. Mostly repeating old and in some cases inaccurate information. Part 3 touches on international governance issues. Compares mitigation to the Marshall Plan and geoengineering to the Manhattan Project. How about the TARP? Troubled Atmospheric Remediation Program. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttf8jl6hYUk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwyZPRqQufw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixBxkMyJBW4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXCzTqZps-c Most of the introductory episode of Discovery Project Earth, presenting an overview of the series.
