WE BELIEVE THAT THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE STRONGLY SUGGESTS THAT THE APPROACH TO THE CLIMATE CHANGE PROBLEM SHOULD BE AS BROADLY BASED AS POSSIBLE. AS SUCH, THIS SHOULD [, which would] include the following four parts: > > Part A: Emissions reduction > Part B: Carbon stock management > Part C: Heat transfer and radiation management > Part D: Adaptation > > We note that there is little or no funding for research and testing of > geoengineering methods (ITEMS B AND C).
