Folks, I am supposed to give a keynote talk at CEC14 in two weeks. For this talk, I would like to try to develop a list of oft-cited memes that many assume are established facts, but which may not in fact be true.
I am thinking of things like: "With solar geoengineering, there will be winners and losers." "Termination risk is an important reason not to engage in solar geoengineering." "Solar geoengineering will cause widespread drying." I don't want to discuss all of these things here but simply to develop a list. You could help me by sending an email answering the questions: 2a. What memes are out there which many "experts" regard as well-established facts but which in fact might not be correct? 2b. Why do you suspect the correctness of that meme? 2c. (optional) Can you provide a citation or a link to where someone is assuming the meme is true? Thoughtful responses would be most appreciated. If you want to start discussion about a meme, please do so in a separate thread so that this thread can be easily used to develop a list.
