Folks, The idea is that "Climate Intervention" < [email protected]> will be a tightly moderated group focusing on "expert level" discussions of intentional climate intervention from both technical and policy perspectives. The idea is that I will forward any email that does not meet this standard to the old group < [email protected]>. The "Geoengineering" google group will continue to exist for people who would like to entertain wide ranging discussions related to climate intervention, including "expert level" discussions that are slightly off topic (i.e., about climate change, carbon cycle, etc.).
Some people have been having trouble joining the new group (about 100 members now). It appears that google will let me add people one or two at a time, but not mass additions, so if you are having trouble joining yourself, let me know and I can add you. The place to try yourself is: http://groups.google.com/group/climateintervention As an example of the kind of thing that I think is good, but is appropriate for the [email protected], but not [email protected], I offer the following email that I have NOT approved at the "Climate Intervention" group. On the other hand, I think it is entirely appropriate for the "Geoengineering" group: -- This is a visual representation of the impact of sea level rise on cities. http://www.mibazaar.com/nationundersiege/ As we begin to communicate with policy makers and others about attempting to intervene to prevent these impacts, these sorts of visualizations may be increasingly useful. ----- This is nice, useful, and interesting, but does not bring new information or questions about intentional intervention in the climate system to the attention of experts working in the field, therefore "Geoengineering" not "Climate Intervention".
