Dear Dan, In the past, the Wall Street Journal has refused to publish op-eds that do not agree with their editorial policy, so I think it would be a waste of time. On the other hand, the news portion of the Wall Street Journal has published an article which is more or less reasonable about geoengineering, and they even posted an interview with myself and Dale Jamieson, although not very long. You can see these at:

When I asked the reporter, Bob Hotz, why the WSJ would publish these articles that propose a solution to a problem that they claims does not exist, he told me that the news part of the wSJ believes in using evidence to support what they write. The editorial part just believes.
