a B-29, the Enola Gay, which murdered 150,000 innocent civilians.
August 9th is the 66th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki,
which murdered an additional 90,000 innocent people. I would not

Prof. Robock's input is not about geoengineering as far as I can tell.
I disagree strongly with Prof. Robock's thesis. There was in fact an initial
demonstration of the power of the bomb in the New Mexico desert. The
Japanese were not impressed. The second bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and
after
Although that thread was not narrowly about geoengineering, it did address
the issue of technological linkages, so here are some relevant facts from
the history of science and technology:
Boeing submitted the prototype for the B-29 long-range heavy bomber to the
Army in 1939, before the United

The problem is that geoengineering doesn't really fit with the missions of any
of the national scientific funding agencies as far as I can tell. As an
example, when I talked to the Department of Energy about ways to remove methane
and nitrous oxide from the atmosphere they said that it wasn't
If something is not now in the mission of an agency, Congress can cause it
to be in the mission.
DOE managed to find the Human Genome Project within their domain even though
it didn't fit with their energy mission: http://genomics.energy.gov/

Dear Stuart‹There is already a major international program to go after
methane emissions‹it just needs to be expanded to cover natural sources. See

Hi
This dialogue below is copied with Neil Donahue's consent. It covers
the issue of treating methane emissions by enhancing sinks (adding
NOx, Bromine, Chlorine and also iron aerosols). It probably makes

This US petition for geoengineering funding is interesting. I know
nothing of its origins or supporters. It didn't attract much support,
but this could be down to a lack of awareness. It's not clear to me
whether the origins were 'green' or 'energy hawks'
