Hi Mark,
Presumably you are going to present some ideas on geoengineering. Whatever you are presenting, I think it's important to point out that we need all the weapons at our disposal to reduce risk of climate catastrophe, and different approaches are applicable for different purposes. So SRM could save the Arctic, but not help with ocean acidification, whereas carbon stock management cannot help in the Arctic but could halt ocean acidification. And geoengineering must be combined with aggressive emissions reduction, so it's not a question of one or the other. See the open letter to Dr Pachauri. http://geo-engineering.blogspot.com/2009/03/open-letter-to-dr-pachauri.html The most urgent problems are the potential tipping points - loss of Amazon rainforest and loss of Arctic sea ice. If these were to go, all hell could be let loose. Yet neither of these can be prevented by emissions reduction, which is a long term strategy and absolutely necessary for sustainability. You have a platform to make these points, so make the most of it! I shall try and be there, next weekend.
