Re: [geo] A Case Against Climate Engineering
Alan: So, I understand why you have reservations about SRM, but why do you only make a passing comment about CDR and then dismiss it as currently very expensive and would only slowly cool the climate. It is highly unlikely that society will reduce emissions rapidly enough to avoid less than a 2 degree C increase in mean global temperature, so both CDR and rapid emission reductions are very likely going to be necessary to avoid dangerous climate change by the latter part of this century, as pointed out in the most recent IPCC report. If you want to make a case against SRM, then please don't confound it with CDR. Very little research effort has been put into CDR given the importance of finding a solution to the CO2 problem. So, the fact that it is currently very expensive is a rather short-sighted perspective. Lumping CDR with SRM and then making a case against Geoengineering in general is a disservice to those you are trying to inform and/or educate.

Re: [geo] A Case for Climate Engineering
we need to do a chat for dot earth when you have time (google+ hangout?). i have book and started to go through it. will take til next week to get it done given flow of other stuff.

For some details, reviews and recent press see: http://www.keith.seas.harvard.edu/book/. The book is available from Amazon and other retailers. Clive Hamilton and I had a debate in Cambridge last night and will do a second one at Columbia University in New York tonight that will be covered on C-SPAN’s book TV. We did a version for NPR that will run on their Living on Earth http://www.loe.org/ show. David -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups geoengineering group.
