There seems to be no mention of the so-called "tipping points", such as the Arctic sea ice disappearance, which pose a threat too immediate for emissions reduction to counter.
We could ask two simple questions to the Poznan conference (1-12 December): 1. Is there an alternative to geoengineering to cool the Arctic region and save the Arctic sea ice? 2. If not, isn't now the time to start putting geoengineering into practice, before it's too late even for geoengineering? Is there anybody who knows how to get such questions asked, at very short notice? And if the geoengineering is to start in the Arctic, should we not seek the support of the Arctic Council? Albert, can you advise? Cheers, John P.S. Might the appropriate time to raise the geoengineering issue be during "statement of observers" See http://www.cop14.gov.pl/files/Program_COP14.pdf 9. Statements by observer organizations 55. Representatives of intergovernmental organizations and non-governmental organizations will be invited to address the CMP. Further information will be made available. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
