Dear Simon-- I wonder if you could expand a bit on your remark that: > These simulations could be of great use - indeed, the objective uncertainties around > geoengineering are so large as a basic fact that I actually believe anyone who > believes it to be automatically good or automatically b

Hi Eugene, "you ignore the possibility" I posted the article on geoengineering. However, I'm not the author as I mentioned to you a couple days ago when we discussed offline both this specific article and your views on climate change. You can find the author's email on the website of the articl

I think that there is a gradation of risk in various geoengineering methods, and it troubles me that all geoengineering schemes are sometimes lumped together as uniform in discussions of risk. Spraying particles into the atmosphere is not the same thing as regrowing forest in a place where it on

Hello Andrew et al, Good to have yr comments Andrew on what was clearly a fine lecture by David. It is incorrect, however, to regard SRM as synonymous with stratospheric sulphur seeding. The latter is the most discussed SRM technique, but it is not the only one. They will be synonymous only if a
