Note to future prize sponsors: selecting 10 technologies in YR 1 from which one
winner will be chosen in YR 10 runs the risk of ignoring new and potentially
better ideas that arise in the interim. Imagine selecting a winning computer
technology from ideas that are ten years old? Much better to h
Back on thread for a moment, I'd be particularly keen to see an analysis of
the scale limitations to the electro CDR approach. I'm concerned about the
localised/regional impact of changes in ocean chemistry.
Is anyone able to model this?

correct if you believe CDR has this presumed dismal future ."

Hi Stephen,
Did you or Ben conduct a signal to noise analysis for this? (Sorry, I
haven't read his thesis, nor walked through quantitative analysis myself.)
When we did our testing paper a few years back, we found that a global-scale
forcing of 1 W/m^2 would still take decades to get adequate
Hello Olaf,
I should have mentioned that, re hurricanes & coral, our idea is to
maintain the SST's in the appropriate areas at current values,
using MCB to counter CO2 increase.
Trying to reduce SSTs below current values is a different
and possibly dangerous game, which we are not considering.

Dear John,
We are designing an MCB GeoMIP experiment so we can see how robust the
results are from the climate models that have already done these
experiments, but all differently. In theory, there would be both
benefits and risks, and these must be quantified. From my list, you can

Thanks. Yes, lots of great ideas out there.
Speaking of the Virgin Earth Challenge (apparently the only CDR game in town),
what the heck happened to the prize? Did they quietly select a winner, split
the
money among finalists, or say "sorry, no winner, thanks for all of the great
ideas, we wer
This is an excellent, concise summary of the lock-in effect I've been
