Dr. Pachauri said in his response to our letter that geoengineering will be included for consideration in the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report, as a mitigation option.
According to the official website, the IPCC Working Group III assesses options for mitigating climate change, through limiting or preventing greenhouse gas emissions, and through enhancing activities that remove them from the atmosphere. However, what we have called solar radiation management (SRM) is yet to be included. http://www.ipcc.ch/working_groups/working_groups.htm I just wonder if anyone of the geoengineering group here has been invited to join this IPCC working group III? If the IPCC is still in the process of setting the terms of references, then there may still be an opportunity for people from this group to give some input, such as on the need for action in the immediate future. On the other hand, if nobody has been approached by the IPCC, then perhaps we should make some suggestions, such as to amend the definition of the group to include SRM? Cheers!
