Thanks for this Ken. Once again someone in California tells me about something in my own back yard that I hadn't heard of.
Can any UK academic or university person explain whats going on here. Have we got a race between the National Environmental Research Council and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council to take control of geoengineering research? Sounds like fun!

Collingwood Environmental Planning will run an independent evaluation of the dialogue process. 2) Steering group Details of steering group membership have been posted on the geoengineering public dialogue page of the NERC website (http://www.nerc.ac.uk/about/consult/geoengineering.asp) The steering group is chaired by Professor Charles Godfray of the University of Oxford , and includes representatives from academia, government, industry and charities. 3) Hopes and concerns about geoengineering Finally, we'd like to thank all who sent in views on their hopes and concerns about potential geoengineering technologies, and on what questions we should ask as part of the dialogue. Your comments will be collated and passed on to the steering group and Ipsos MORI as they develop plans for the dialogue workshops. Please feel free to forward this e-mail to colleagues.
