Tree planting is, from a geologic perspective, a very short - term fix.
What will be done with the trees when they die? Will the forest cover
persist, or be replaced by alternative climax communities, will less locked
in carbon?
Taking a tiny seed and putting it in a hole is nothing compared to th

1. Thanks to Andrew for alerting us to this paper. I think the best I have seen
combining Policy, Geoengineering and Economics. At first, it looks exceedingly
complex, but after decoding the (new-to-me) nomenclature, not bad. A well
written paper.

I thought your annual review piece was generally good and for most
technologies, probably helpful. But I fail to understand your non-treatment of
biochar. You only used the word once - in a Table. I think "Annual Reviews"
lost a good many potential purchasers.
There are many rea

Thanks for the interjection - at least partially responding to me. To the best
of my knowledge, your proposed method of albedo enhancement (url given below)
has not been advanced on this list. I can't find it at AMEG. I called a
wind-friend at NREL (where I once worked), who also ha
My take on additional funding is that private money could be beneficial in
3 key ways, which the state may be slow or reluctant to fund.
1) A kitty for funding ad hoc costs, such as conference fees, open access
charges , etc. This will allow the removal of minor but annoying road
blocks.

Instead of adding yet another interest group to the crowded scene, many of
the aims discussed here could be accomplished by established by creating
new sections within the the AGU and EGU, automatically qualifying them
for a place at those organizations'policy discussion table,
