I agree that we should not ignore 70% of the earth's surface in our attempts to
manage our global climate, biogeochemical, and social problems. But we
obviously need to figure out how to do this safely and sustainably. Ideas, RD,
and esp policies that support these are needed, e.g.:
Dear Alan
Thank you for an interesting paper. I note that you used uniform solar
reduction and found that all monsoon areas show reduced precipitation in
all models.
I hope that your next paper will study non-uniform solar reduction
planned according to the phase of the monsoon, the state

The Promises and Perils of Geoengineering
Worldwatch Institute examines the potential consequences of using
geoengineering as a climate quick fix.

Geoengineering, by definition,
To Ken's analogy: I've seen this same Hobson's choice presented by David
Keith, between reducing emissions and reducing sunlight. If we're facing
the famine in the tropics which you refer to, I believe it's possible to
address the proximate causes of that situation, which are desertification
Poster's note - this online book lacks specific geoengineering
content. However, I believe it's relevant and likely to be of
interest to those seeking to study and understand behaviour and
governance in a geoengineering context. (Open Access)

There have been quite a few messages posted this week from attendees at the
Fourth Interdisciplinary Summer School on Geoengineering held at Harvard
last week August 5-9, but I haven't seen an overview, so I thought I would
take a stab at it.
*Atmospheric overview: *There were about 65 people
Poster's note : Whilst ostensibly having little to do with GE, the
below result is potentially impactful on the CROPS scheme postulated
by Strand et al ( http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/es8015556 ) and
its possible variants. CROPS relies on sequestration of organic C in
benthic ocean strata.
Thanks for the update. But your bug is a little different from the one
described below. Unlike C. metallidurans, the taxa reported by Kellermann are
an anaerobic, chemoautortrophic Archea which use CH4 in dissimilatory mode as
their energy source, not as a carbon source - so technically they're

Abstract
Climate engineering technologies, sometimes also referred to as
geoengineering technologies, attempt to ward off the worst effects of
climate change by intervening in the global climate system. We see the
potentials offered
Dear Stephen,
I would just like to clarify that your statement is not quite correct
'that all monsoon areas show reduced precipitation in all models'.
The EOS paper states:
'All monsoon areas show reduced precipitation, manifested as reduced
numbers of intense precipitation events.'
