Wil- You speak for yourself, not for Ken Buesseler or for the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, unless you have an agreement to do so--in which case you should tell us. Your point is made. Let's stop here. Peter On Sat, Feb 18, 2023 at 3:17 PM Wil Burns wrote: > Hi Peter, > > > > First of al

Hi Peter, First of all, thank you for acknowledging that the NASEM report did not say what you said it did about either the law or science of OIF, and that no less than the lead author of the OIF section doesn’t support deployment at this point. That’s a good starting point. Moreover, you’re no

Wil- I stand corrected. Let's use the Columbia Law School's report in 2022 instead. They say, more succinctly: “There are currently no legally binding international treaties dealing specifically with ocean fertilization.” They add tha

Peter, As usual, this is a distortion of the statement of others, including most notably here, the conclusions in the NASEM CDR study, for which myself and others on this list served as reviewers. The NASEM study did not conclude “there are no actual legal barriers to ocean iron fertilization.”

Metta- Excellent question about the legal standing of adding iron to the ocean. The NAS report from Dec 2021: Ocean Carbon Dioxide Removal says there are no actual legal ba

I will register my disagreement: reduction of CH4 should be part of CDR; you can count on my interest. For purists, let us refer to CH4 as CO2eq. Peter Flynn Peter Flynn, P. Eng., Ph. D. Emeritus Professor and Poole Chair in Management for Engineers Department of Mechanical Engineering Uni

Andy- It's good to hear from you. Yes-there's a problem when one faction of society demonizes and prevents relevant science from happening. There's also a problem when respected scientists speak inaccurately, in order to prevent critical actions from happening. The examples below are generic--no
