[geo] Fwd: [CDR] Fwd: Geoengineering the oceans: an emerging frontier in international climate change governance

[Michael Hayes]

Andrew and List,

The current legal issues are well detailed in the book "Conservation, 
Biodiversity, and International Law":

https://www.e-elgar.com/shop/conservation-biodiversity-and-international-law?___website=uk_warehouse

There are many gray areas which can and should be avoided through systems 
design. As an example, I propose the use of robust yet low cost fully enclosed 
grow tanks which makes moot all objections leveled against OIF. 

Highly gray areas, such as the pH adjustment of wide areas via AWL, have simply 
not been discussed by such scholars as they typically know nothing about them.

In general, any open water methodology will face many issues which closed 
systems will not. We do need pH adjustment of wide areas which the laws, 
conventions, and regional associations struggle address if not recognize. 

There is strong support for a specific ocean centric supra national governance 
body at the scholar level. The current laws and conventions are not competent 
in the geoengineering or geotherapy arenas, at this time.  


I highly recommend the book and all books in the series.

“ABSTRACT International climate change policy is increasingly reliant upon
future large-scale removal and sequestration of greenhouse gases from the
atmosphere. Assumptions on the development of ‘negative emissions’
technologies are built into recent IPCC emissions modelling and the 2015 *Paris
Agreement*. Terrestrial proposals, such as bioenergy with carbon capture
and storage, may be of limited benefit as the estimated land required would
be vast and may negatively impact upon food security. The world's oceans
could play an important role in meeting international climate change
targets. ‘Marine geoengineering’ is being proposed to enhance the oceans
capacity to sequester emissions and enhance the Earth's albedo. This
article draws on discussions at a recent Marine Geoengineering Symposium
held at the University of Tasmania to highlight prominent marine
geoengineering proposals and raise questions about the readiness of the
international law system to govern further research and implementation of
these ideas.”
