New York Times: Climate Change In Geoengineering Study, Science Academy Sees Merit in CO2 Removal, Risk in Reflecting Sunlight By Andrew C. Revkin February 10, 2015 11:00 am February 10, 2015 11:00 am Photo Global warming might be slowed by removing accumulating heat-trapping carbon dioxide from the air or blocking some sunlight (click for more). A science panel found that cutting emissions remains the prime...

Fact or fiction? Geoengineering can solve global warming

Scientific American: A global deal to combat climate change lurches toward reality in Lima, Peru, this week--and yet any politically feasible agreement will be insufficient to restrain continued warming of global average temperatures, perhaps uncomfortably high. Although recent pledges by China, the 28 countries of the European Union and the U.S. are the first signs of the possibility of restraining the endless growth of greenhouse gas pollution on a long-term basis, atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide have...

Geoengineering the climate

Economist: IN 1990 John Latham, a cloud physicist, published a short article in Nature under the headline Control of Global Warming? It argued that if low-lying maritime clouds were made a bit brighter, the Earth could be cooled enough to make up for the increased warming caused by emissions of greenhouse gases. The brightening was to be achieved by wafting tiny sea-salt particles up into the clouds from below; by acting as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) they would increase the number of water droplets...

Think Geoengineering a quick fix for global warming?

Environmental News Network: The deliberate, large-scale intervention in the Earths climate system is not a quick fix for global warming, according to the findings of the UKs first publicly funded studies on geoengineering. The results of three projects IAGP, led by the University of Leeds; SPICE, led by the University of Bristol; and CGG, led by the University of Oxford are announced at an event held at The Royal Society, London, on 26 November. Professor Piers Forster, Professor of Physical Climate Change at...

Geoengineering Wont Fix Climate Change Researchers Say

EcoWatch: Geoengineeringwhich sometimes seems to be the despairing climate scientists Plan Bsimply wont work. It wont offer a quick fix to the planets burden of global warming, and it will be difficult to convince anybody that it could work at all. Geoengineering is any deliberate, large-scale intervention in the workings of the climate machine that might offer a way of containing global warming. The accent is on the word deliberate. Humans are already engineering the climate just by continuously...
