Yesterday , a committee of the National research Council released a two volume 
report on climate engineering. They are available here

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).

The press conference was webcast. Some people "live tweeted" it. See
