Or one could, if so disposed, make an equivalent case for Marine Cloud Brightening, (MCB) since oceanic ships have been producing higher reflectivity "ship tracks" for a century or more. Cheers,John. lat...@ucar.edu John Latham Address: P.O. Box 3000,MMM,NCAR,Boulder,CO 80307-300

How about the dangers of the alternative: Continuing to unset the Earth's thermostat (and pH-stat)? "...the temptation to seriously consider a technological fix will become irresistible to many." Let's hope so! Are we going to solve the CO2 problem in the absence of technology - new renewable

Mark - read more carefully; David's comment regarding "won't work with sulphates" was in the context of whether it is theoretically possible to put enough up there to freeze the planet. (Which he then goes on to point out is not something to be worried about anyway, since it would require intentio

Dr. Keith- I was very surprised by one of your comments in the above interview with Tony Jones. Concerning the feasibility of sulphate aerosols you state: "So, you might in principle be able to put up enough reflective aerosols - probably not sulphates, actually; I think it won't work with sulp

A lot of geoengineering discussion has the common feature of looking only at the atmosphere. Well, the CO2 that creates warming is part of a carbon cycle that includes reservoirs much larger than the atmosphere: the ocean is the biggest, but another very big place to store carbon is the world
