Hyped. N2O is a fraction of other RFs (0.18 w/m2 from 1750-2000 per Hansen 2005) and the proposed expansion a) is admittedly (!) a monoculture (!) strategy and b) only affects a fraction of the agriculture N2O. --- Fred Zimmerman Geoengineering IT! Bringing together the worlds of geoengineering

That you would have to ask the question suggests the group should adopt a definition of geoengineering that applies to the group interest and activity. If geoengineering applies only to CO2 concentration reduction then the grass approach is not geoengineering. On the other hand many of the
