Hello, I would just like to have on the record that this (unilateral, gatekeeper) decision may not accord with all perspectives represented in the geoengineering literature and that many who research this topic still see the umbrella term "geoengineering" as salient to our work and remains widely used in the literature including by scientists and technicians. Where will you post the papers that have broad relevance to both categories of (solar and carbon removal) geoengineering approaches? I've already had push back from moderators who are reluctant to include such research on this Google Group and issues relating to cross posting between the groups. (Without wanting to revisit the naming debate which is well understood by all of us) I would like to point out that this decision here tends to privilege a technocratic approach that does not necessarily accord with other branches of the literature including the social sciences and humanities.
Terminology is a complex issue in this field, these topics are clearly related as part of the the broader portfolio of climate strategies. Perhaps most importantly, I think it is a pity that we are moving away from interdisciplinary cooperation and nuance in co-defining concepts across different areas of expertise in a research field that was interdisciplinary from its inception.

Since this group now focuses only on SRM it should be renamed to reflect the new objects. So renaming this Group as 'Solar Geoengineering' or 'SRM Geoengineering' or any other suitable name would be appropriate. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
