Thank you Ken for your response. My main concern is that a formal solicitation and ranking of geoengineering schemes has not yet been done, but that I believe the scope and complexity of the problem absolutely warrants (and necessitates) doing this.
It wouldn't be a list that would stand the test of time, necessarily, but one that has been through a disciplined and transparent process, that we and others could look back against and have "best confidence" with at the time. Though some ideas have been proposed through this site over the last few years, because a formal evaluation process hasn't been in place, and because there may be some very good ideas from those not yet connected with this site, important concepts may have been missed that could make a big difference in our future. Finally, it seems like site participants have mainly been limited to the US, Canada and the UK. What about the French? The Chinese (who have a huge weather modification agancy)? India? There are a hell of a lot of smart people out there, and a lot of them are concerned with global warming and what to do about it. This is a global issue that will have to obtain global approval. I think it also requires global solicitation from the beginning, as an inherent part of the process. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
