Dear colleagues,
For the *Geoengineering Our Climate?* Working Paper Series, Joshua B.
Horton, Andrew Parker, and David Keith (Harvard University) have written an
Opinion Article on *Solar Geoengineering and the Problem of Liability*.
In this short article, they explore the need for, precedents
Dear colleagues,
We would like to remind and encourage you all to submit proposals for sessions
to the Climate Engineering Conference 2014: Critical Global
Discussionshttp://www.ce-conference.org/, for which the deadline is December
6th, 2013. Proposals submitted after this deadline will only
Ken,
I concur that massive storage is essential. Again, we might want to
direct our attentions to the capacity of the oceans for increasing
biomass throughout the food web.
One might postulate the current ocean fishery-biomass is considerably
reduced from that existing around 1700.
Some years ago I calculated how much energy it would take to convert
100 ppm of CO2 into synthetic oil which could be stored in old oil
fields safely for millions of years.
100 ppm of CO2 would be 470 cubic km of the stuff. It's what humans
added to the atmosphere since ~1960.
Had to define a

1. Since this is a thread with a biochar theme, I thought we should compare
a hypothetical biochar scenario with your solar power satellite (SPS) scenario.
2. Because char is lighter than oil (I assume relative density of 1/3), I
got 1200 km3 of char, assuming 400 Gt of
