GR - Does this mean that the RC is also preparing for fallout from failure to stabilize if not reduce GHG's, including situations in which underdeveloped nations are unable to compensate for resulting weather changes and have to rely on humanitarian organizations for assistance? And might this be a larger task that dealing with the impacts of GE? Then this little factoid caught my eye, "The National Academy of Sciences is midway through an assessment of geoengineering, funded in part by the Central Intelligence Agency. “There are going to be winners and losers if SRM technologies were ever to be used,” says Alex Hanafi, an attorney with the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF). “So that creates a real risk of international conflict, where you have some countries saying … ‘I suffered more, so I need some kind of compensation’ or ‘You need to stop doing SRM.’”GR - How about there are going to be winners and losers if GHG's continue to rise and SRM technologies are not used? Also, isn't there a real risk of international conflict, where you have some countries saying …'I suffered more, so I need some kind of compensation’ or ‘You need to stop emitting GHG's'? Lastly, what the heck is the CIA doing in bed with the NAS re GE???
