Geoengineering suits Russia's carbon agenda
2013-09-24 13:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guaridan: News that Russia is calling for geoengineering be considered by the IPCC as a possible response to global warming makes a perverse kind of sense. No government, not even those of Canada and Australia, has been more eager to open up new sources of fossil energy than Russia's. By offsetting the effects of global warming -- by, for example, coating the Earth with a layer of sulphate particles to reduce the amount of sunlight -- geoengineering promises to allow the world to have its carbon cake and...

Geoengineering to address climate change
2013-08-25 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sudbury Star: Altering environments to suit our needs is not new. From clearing land to building dams, we've done it throughout history. When technologies and populations were limited, our actions affected small areas -- though with some cascading effects on interconnected ecosystems. We've entered an era in which humans are a geological force. According to the website Welcome to the Anthropocene, "There are now so many of us, using so many resources, that we're disrupting the grand cycles of biology, chemistry...

CIA to Fund Study to Alter Weather with Geoengineering
2013-07-22 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: The Central Intelligence Agency, along with other U.S. government agencies, is partially funding an experiment to control the weather. Under the auspices of scientific research into whether geoengineering techniques can be used to alter Earth's environment and stop climate change, the CIA will partner with the National Academy of Science (NAS) for the 21-month study, which is the first NAS geoengineering study to be funded by the CIA, according to a report by Mother Jones. Payment for the $630,000...
CIA backs $630,000 study into how to control global weather through geoengineering

Independent: The power, reach and influence of the Central Intelligence Agency is a staple of conspiracy theories. The news that the CIA is reportedly part-funding a scientific geoengineering study into how to control the weather is unlikely to dampen speculation over their activities. According to US website 'Mother Jones' the CIA is helping fund a study by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) that will investigate whether humans could use geoengineering - which is defined as deliberate and large-scale...

Scientists take a second look at concerns and potential for geoengineering
2013-07-19 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
E&E: Scientists are taking a hard look at tweaking the planet's thermostat with geoengineering methods, which were once a taboo avenue for research, as a way to stave off some of the worst-case scenarios for the warming Earth. Earlier this week, the National Research Council convened a committee to review approaches that could cool the world, with the goal of creating a scientific foundation that could help resolve political, ethical and legal issues surrounding these controversial techniques. Geoengineering...
