CIA spooks investigate geoengineering to fix climate

New Scientist: You could say the US National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is late to the geoengineering party - at least compared to its British counterpart. But it has now arrived, with an influential friend in tow: the CIA. This week in Washington DC, a panel of experts convened by the NAS met for the first time to embark on a study that will consider the risks and benefits of engineering solutions to dangerous climate change by sequestering away carbon dioxide or reflecting solar radiation back out into space....

The War on Nature: Geoengineering and the Climate Crisis
2013-06-04 23:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Will declaring a "climate emergency" help to finally prompt radical action to address climate change? A growing number of campaigners as well as scientists think so and hope that a major wake up call about unfolding climate disasters will spur governments and people into action. Whether a lack of scary-enough facts about climate change has been holding back real action is questionable. After all, it requires a fair amount of psychological denial to not be alarmed by the escalating heat waves,...

Concerns grow over effects of solar geoengineering
2013-05-06 19:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
SciDevNet: The latest studies on solar geoengineering to tackle climate change are reinforcing the case for a global governance system and further study before deployment, as they show that the approach may have little effect on preventing rainfall changes in the tropics and may even lead to widespread drought in Africa. Several geoengineering initiatives plan to tackle climate change by cutting incoming sunlight, through methods such as spreading reflective aerosols in the stratosphere. But without also...

Climate Change Series: The Geoengineering Debate
2013-04-26 12:36:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
WBUR: It sounds like science fiction: Massive engineering projects to deflect the sun`s rays in an attempt to reduce the warming effects of climate change. And yet, with the continuing rise in global greenhouse gas emissions, geoengineering has become an increasingly common topic of discussion among climate scientists, policy makers and national security experts. Jason Blackstock, John Steinbruner and Armond Cohen examine the arguments for, and challenges presented by, the prospect of geoengineering...
