Rotman discusses the "thinking" of Clive Hamilton in this article.
Hamilton recently explained to readers of Nature, in a column<http://www.nature.com/news/no-we-should-not-just-at-least-do-the-research-1.12777> "*No, we should not just 'at least do the research*", that he takes this "Just Say No" position to geoengineering research, because, among other reasons, "we should have satisfactory answers to such questions" such as how rainfall patterns will change, *BEFORE* research is started. Rotman adds a detail for those who have attempted, so far in vain, to understand what Hamilton might be driving at when he points out in his Technology Review<http://www.technologyreview.com/review/513526/climate-change-the-moral-choices/>article that, "the attentive reader" will discover that in his "newest" book *Earthmasters: The Dawn of the Age of Climate Engineering*, Hamilton "doesn't rule out geoengineering in the future, if the situation becomes desperate".
