Dear Stephen, I don't follow. You mean not even allow (Darwinian) selection of the best solutions? Just kill them all and party while we still can? At your place or mine? Greg -------------------------------------------- On Tue, 9/1/15, Stephen Salter <[email protected]> wrote:
Subject: Re: [geo] CDR: Clearing the air To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, September 1, 2015, 1:37 AM Hi All Any possible solution to any problem is a threat to all the other possible solutions. We must therefore reject all of them even if we really need all of them together. Stephen Emeritus Professor of Engineering Design.

Recently, the view that carbon removal is a complement, not a substitute, for other mitigation approaches has gained mainstream acceptance — a positive development that will hopefully help carbon removal solutions emerge in sustainable and appropriate manner for fighting climate change." "1. Carbon removal technologies are NOT an excuse to continue business as usual. ..... 2. Carbon removal technologies will NOT allow us to delay action on fighting climate change. ..... 3. Research into carbon removal helps balance resources from other, more immediate mitigation options. ...... Conclusion It is great news that the scientific community is increasing its efforts to bring carbon removal solutions into the same light as the rest of the mitigation family, and although there are legitimate reasons to doubt the potential for negative emissions technologies, their potential threat to other mitigation techniques is not one of them."
