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:

http://online.wsj.com/video/geoengineering-a-controversial-solution-to-global-warming/1FE4AFFE-8BD2-4964-AA16-46C5440B0387.html

There are really two different parts of the WSJ.  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.
