I wanted to flag another AGU session of potential interest to readers here. It is entitled "Confronting the Prospects of a 4 C World" and will hopefully broadly build on the Royal Society series of articles from a few years ago and other subsequent work around this topic. While not specifically a geoengineering session we do highlight it as a component of the discussion. I've included the description and a link to the session below.
Todd This session focuses on cross-disciplinary aspects of confronting the risks of global warming at levels of 4 C and prospects of sub-optimal solutions. Invited papers include (1) analysis of projected warming trends, taking account of global climate policy commitments and adoption rates of low carbon technologies. (2) sources of uncertainty in projecting impacts at this level, including possible non-linearities in the climate system and modeling gaps, (3) proposed approaches to managing risks of this level of warming through, e.g. adaptation measures, reductions in short-lived climate forcers and geo-engineering schemes and (4) options and challenges to communicating risks associated with a 4 C world to public and policymaker audiences. http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2012/session-search/single/confronting-the-prospects-of-a-4-c-world/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
