The United States gov't has been known to kidnap and torture, kill children with drones under the rubric of "collateral damage", start senseless wars, etc, etc, but we don't fault anyone for taking Federal research funds. On Tue, Nov 1, 2022 at 12:17 PM Tamas Bodai wrote: > I tend to believe any

There are some mistakes here. I played no material role related to the funding or operation of the Harvard Solar Geoengineering Research Program (HSGRP). Funding for HSGRP was independent of FICER. FICER was a fund at Harvard and Carnegie Institution for Science supported by a gift from Gates Ve

GLENS took place before SilverLining funded anyone! Cornell was never funded by EDF or PNNL (though I’ve coauthored papers with people from both). We’ve had funding over the years from a number of philanthropic donors, mostly from tech sector. Highly entertaining that someone would write a pap

Everything the article says may be correct, but that’s not the issue. The issue is what happens at the current level of CO2 concentrations if we do not proceed with SRM and how much worse the prognosis will be at the higher levels that are unable to stop the planet moving towards. Sent from Mail fo

Just following up regarding funding sources, GLENS has also not been funded by Silverling, but was initially funded by DARPA. Simone On Mon, Oct 31, 2022 at 11:45 AM Daniele Visioni wrote: > Talking on behalf of one of the efforts listed in Table 1, I want to > stress that GeoMIP *is not* funded
