The event will take place at The George Washington > University in Washington, DC, and is co-sponsored by the Environment & Energy > Management Institute at GWU. The keynote speaker will be Dr. James Hansen. > Members of the NGO community can view the program for the workshop and > register here. > Equity as a Rationale for SRM Research > > CE researchers often cite equity as a reason to research solar radiation > management. In a blog summarizing a new paper in International Environmental > Agreements, Jane Flegal and Aarti Gupta scrunitize expert understandings of > equity. > Hurricanes and Climate Engineering > > Three recent, unusually strong hurricanes have devasted Caribbean nations and > parts of the United States. Could climate engineering technologies be used to > weaken hurricanes? Is proposing such research a good idea, or is it a > distraction? We asked members of our Board of Advisors, including Janos > Pasztor, Tom Ackerman, Mark Lawrence, and Doug MacMartin. > Podcast on Public Engagement and SRM > > In a new podcast, Jane Flegal, Doctoral candidate in the Department of > Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at the University of California > at Berkeley and FCEA Scholar in Residence, speaks with Peter Frumhoff, > Director of Science and Policy and Chief Climate Scientist at the Union of > Concerned Scientists (UCS).
