2012-08-07 Thread Nigel Moore
Hi Everyone, We've recently launched a new online library of resources on the Oxford Geoengineering Programme website. The 'GeoLibrary' consists of two separate and fully searchable libraries containing over 900 items and growing. One is for material suitable for academic referencing and the

Hello Mike et al., This is a question which begs the fundimental question of; What exactly *is*GE? It is clear from an overwhelming number of studies that current energy policies and FF usage is changing our climate. The legal concept of 'Reasonable Knowability' is well established and

If we decouple temperature and CO2, and continue to increase CO2, we will accelerate the amount of CO2 uptake by the oceans than would otherwise occur (colder water soaks up more carbon). This would result in increased ocean acidification, which could also lead to Earth's sixth mass extinction

Michael I personally feel that the term 'geoengineering' lacks clear meaning in a world which is already so heavily altered by the human race. Consider forestry, for example. There is still a net loss of Amazonian rainforest, and also loss of more minor forests, e.g. in Madagascar. We could
