Dear Andrew,

I would not express it like that. First, it should be sober. Second, since there are no outdoor experiments to report on, a lot of the work will be modeling, although proposals for outdoor experiments, with clear science questions that can only be answered that way, will be welcome, as will ideas for governance of such experiments. Third, science should always be communicated in a way that is understandable.

Since the final sessions have not been established yet, and what we proposed (see below) may be combined with other topics, as Mike mentioned, we will have to see what the final scope of topics will be.

Our proposed session abstract was:

/Geoengineering has been discussed extensively by IPCC for the first time in the AR5 report, but that report will be two years out of date at the time of this conference. Much research continues to be produced investigating the climate response to various proposals for radiation management, particularly artificial stratospheric aerosols, marine cloud brightening, and cirrus cloud thinning. This session will only address radiation management geoengineering, and not carbon dioxide reduction. It will include new results from the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project, which is designed to understand robust climate model response to radiation geoengineering. This session invites presentations on physical, agricultural, and ecological impacts of anthropogenic control of the climate, and will contrast the potential risks and benefits of future climates with various future pathways of anthropogenic emissions, with and without geoengineering./

What kind of content are you looking for? I assume it's mainly fairly sober,mainstream modelling work, dumbed down for policy makers?

    Dear All,

    Along with Ben Kravitz and Ulrike Niemeier, I have proposed a
    session on geoengineering at the International Scientific
    Conference “Our Common Future under Climate Change,” which will
    take place at UNESCO HQ in Paris, July 7-10, 2015.  The deadline
    for abstract submissions is March 1, 1800 GMT.  While all the
    details of the parallel sessions have not yet been worked out,
    please keep this in mind over the next 6 weeks so that you can
    plan to submit an abstract and attend the conference.  This
    conference was organized to inform negotiators and the public of
    the state of climate science in preparation for the Conference of
    the Parties to be held in Paris in December.  You can read more at:

    The themes for the parallel sessions are at:
