Yesterday , a committee of the National research Council released a two volume report on climate engineering. They are available here http://www.nap.edu/catalog/18988/climate-intervention-reflecting-sunlight-to-cool-earth http://www.nap.edu/catalog/18805/climate-intervention-carbon-dioxide-removal-and-reliable-sequestration One must register to download, but may read online without doing so.
The newly renamed Forum for Climate Engineering Assessment (formerly the Washington Geoengineering Consortium) has handy roundups of media coverage and NGO reactions. I found the latter interesting, in that Friends of the Earth US came out fully against climate engineering while the Union of Concerned Scientists, the Natural Resources Defense Council, and the Environmental Defense Fund were supportive of the reports and further research (with varying degrees of caution expressed). http://dcgeoconsortium.org/2015/02/10/media-coverage-of-nas-climate-intervention-reports/ http://dcgeoconsortium.org/2015/02/10/civil-society-statements-on-the-release-of-nas-climate-intervention-reports/ The press conference was webcast. Some people "live tweeted" it.
