Fred, list and ccs 1. I support your efforts to put more list emphasis on HANPP. How about HANPPropriation? (Getting at the "A" twice for emphasis) But I am hoping to hear more about increasing GPP and NPP, so how about HAANPP, with the new added A meaning "Augmentation", so we can also have HAANPPropriation , with no wasted syllables.
2. It was interesting to learn the historic (visual) reason for the Polo Club name that Dr. Seitz alerted us to. But liking the non-visual reason in Ken's last suggestion, how about: "myopoecotopia" (Alliteration (4 o's) being promoted by Joe Romm.)

This could perhaps be contrasted with "naturaform" -- transforming the Earth to better meet the needs of existing natural systems. These both could be contrasted with our current policy: "myopeconoform" -- transforming the Earth as a consequence of efforts to maximize short-term economic objectives. </blockquote> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
