[geo] Re: Researchers propose 'cocktail geo-engineering' to save climate

I guess a major problem with a cocktail approach would be the amplification of uncertainties. How would we be able to attribute the outcomes to either technique? An increase in global precipitation might result either from the effect of CCT being larger-than-expected or from the effect of aeroso

Re: [geo] Re: Researchers propose 'cocktail geo-engineering' to save climate

As long as the effects were largely exclusive, cocktail geoengineering could greatly reduce impacts from side effects, as they may have non-linear impacts. For example, techniques A&B have two different side effects, each with damages proportional to the square of the dose. Both are equally damagi

Re: [geo] Re: Researchers propose 'cocktail geo-engineering' to save climate

Hi All Florian is worried about separating the effects of different components of a mixture of cocktails. It should be possible to do this for techniques with a high frequency response by turning them on and off with different random sequences and correlating the results at different observi

Fwd: Re: [geo] Re: Researchers propose 'cocktail geo-engineering' to save climate

Christoph I tested the idea by adding or subtracting 16 different amplitudes of temperature change to a real 20-year temperature record and then trying to measure each amplitude knowing only the sequences of the changes. I did this nine times with results below. I could not afford a thermo

Re: [geo] Re: Researchers propose 'cocktail geo-engineering' to save climate

Hi all, this engineering approach of separately switching cocktail components on and off is probably not so simple: attribution and detection of climate change are notoriously difficult (which has been exploited a lot by climate change deniers), with the main problem that both require knowled

Re: [geo] Re: Researchers propose 'cocktail geo-engineering' to save climate

I would strongly discourage researchers from using flippant terms such as "cocktail" rather than more formal descriptors (e.g. "combined" or "integrated" or "multiple", in this case). Careless terminology is likely to invite problematic framings in the discourse, which will then present as obstacle

Adam Do you refer to "black holes" as "gravitationally completely collapsed objects"? Snappy terms stick. A On 31 July 2017 at 18:37, Adam Dorr wrote: > I would strongly discourage researchers from using flippant terms such as > "cocktail" rather than more formal descriptors (e.g. "combined"

Re: [geo] Re: Researchers propose 'cocktail geo-engineering' to save climate

In the case of black holes there are no policymaking or governance consequences to using flippant terms, but in the case of "fracking", for example, which was the subject of my PhD dissertation, the term exerted a disproportionately large influence on the discourse. As it happens, "fracking" was an

Re: [geo] Re: Researchers propose 'cocktail geo-engineering' to save climate

To be honest, I don't think there are any policy-making consequences here since public attitudes to geoengineering cannot possibly get worse than they already are. That being said, the use of "sticky terms" in the broader debate is very interesting. I think it was ETC Group that tried to popula
