Andrew et. al., Ocean up-take should be our primary point of CO2 capture, which sets up a wealth of downstream critical commodities through proper utilization and sequestration. The technology needed for vast scale mid-oceanic farming of marine biomass is well developed yet the suite of

Hi Michael, I would like to defend Ken on this matter. SRM-type geoengineering is the only kind of intervention which could cool the planet straightaway. We are already cooling the planet with our SO2 emissions associated with coal-fired power stations, but not sufficiently to offset global

In theory, I would have thought a rapid drop in CO2 emissions should cause global temperatures to drop pretty quickly, as ocean uptake will remove a lot of historical emissions. You'd have to keep sulphur emissions constant for this to happen, though. Choosing whether to maintain sulphur

Hi folks, I find Ken's statement of *The only thing a politician can do to start the planet cooling is solar geoengineering*. is un-supportable, on the face of it, as there are a multitude of 'planet cooling' means and methods available. And, the statement ignores roughly every thing that the
