It fulfils the fears that many atmospheric scientists had in the wake of Crutzen’s paper, that a climate denying politician would seize on it as a substitute for reducing fossil fuel burning. The laws of nature cannot be repealed, unlike the laws that emerge from politics. We’ll all have to suffer the collateral damage until it’s obvious even to Republicans that something urgent has to be done. Until then, with apologies to Honest Abe, “Government of the stupid, by the stupid, for the stupid, ought to vanish from the face of the Earth.” But it won’t.

"David Schnare, an architect of Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency transition, has lobbied the US government and testified to Senate in favour of federal support for geoengineering. "He has called for a multi-phase plan to fund research and conduct real-world testing within 18 months, deploy massive stratospheric spraying three years after, and continue spraying for a century, a duration geoengineers believe would be necessary to dial back the planet’s temperature." …. “Clearly parts of the Trump administration are very willing to open the door to reckless schemes like David Keith’s, and may well have quietly given the nod to open-air experiments,” said Silvia Riberio, with technology watchdog ETC Group. “Worryingly, geoengineering may emerge as this administration’s preferred approach to global warming. In their view, building a big beautiful wall of sulphate in the sky could be a perfect excuse to allow uncontrolled fossil fuel extraction. We need to be focussing on radical emissions cuts, not dangerous and unjust technofixes.”" GR: I'm confused - if global warming is a Chinese hoax*, why is Trump et al interested in countering it? Perhaps if you apply enough alternate facts you eventually get back to the truth? * https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/19/world/asia/china-trump-climate-change.html?_r=0 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
