want to keep up to date with the investigation described on the above link.
Obviously, the theory is complete nonsense. I've not pasted the text,

hydrological impacts of varying the latitudinal distribution of a FIXED

Dear Michael, Dear All,
Our proposal concerns mainly current tropospheric anthropogenic sulfate
emissions. Global man made annual SO2 emissions were 143 Tg SO*2* in
2008 (Huneeus, N. 2013), and the radiative forcing due to sulphate
aerosols is estimated to be −0.4 W/m2*. *
Incidentally, we

Folks,
I am supposed to give a keynote talk at CEC14 in two weeks. For this talk,
I would like to try to develop a list of research problems in solar

Folks,
I am supposed to give a keynote talk at CEC14 in two weeks. For this talk,
I would like to try to develop a list of oft-cited memes that many assume
are established facts, but which may not in fact be true.
I am thinking of things like: With solar geoengineering, there will be

Here's my slightly cynical and highly personal list of myths

Dear Mike,
I don't understand this suggestion. Because of the shorter sulfate
lifetime than in the stratosphere (even if it is more than the 1 week
you get for surface injections), you would require a much larger sulfur
injection for the same radiative forcing as compared to the
Hi Alan (and others as I had another query on this as well)‹Indeed, a bit
more explanation of the suggestion is warranted‹so a few thoughts and quick
reactions, not necessarily fine tuned:
First, the SO2 would not be emitted from existing sources‹the idea is to
separate the sulfate layer from
Better perhaps to adjust bunker fuel sulphur. Jason Blackstock (cc) did
some excellent work on this, which I don't think got published.
Presently the trend is for desulphurisation of marine bunker fuel, giving
perfectly sensible port air quality improvements. This is, I understand,
now the
Problem 1: Reducing disinformation and potential sabotage about active solar
geoengineering projects
Importance: Given the controversy abut chemtrails, disinformation is very
likely to occur regarding GE projects. Disinformation can lead to sabotage of
GE projects that are widely distributed

Andrew) at this STS conference site:
Research could look at that, but the approach I propose would put the SO2
above the boundary layer, which would let it spread more broadly, lead to a
longer lifetime, and why limit one¹s coverage so much to shipping lanes? It
seems to me that the bunker fuel suggestion is closer to what the cloud
Seems to me that for stack injection above the boundary layer you are going to
need a hot plume or a very tall stack indeed. Have you done calculations of
the materials and energy requirements for a sufficient number of stacks with
thermally buoyant plumes?

wonder what is on the #1 list). I recognize that you asked for only in the
