Hacking the Climate: Political and Ethical Issues with Geo-Engineering
Elizabeth Chalecki, Visiting Research Fellow, Stimson Center
Dr. Elizabeth Chalecki will discuss the scientific principles, political
and economic issues, and
Dear Ron
Very large (eg 2TW - 20TW) wind installation will have effects on the
climate system by changing wind patterns, though the scale is not yet I
think well agreed; similarly large biomass plantations have albedo and
evapotranspiration effects. They could thus be seen as fitting the Royal
I think that we can all agree that we have a global problem (excess air CO2,
OK, and other GHGs) that will require effective actions whose sum effect will
counter or remove the problem at a global scale. Because all actions have
risks, costs, negative impacts as well as benefits, we need to
Poster's note : This technique could be useful for tweaking the side
effects of SRM. It's useful it works both ways.

It would be a mistake to believe that model calculations can offer reliable
simulations of the factors affecting the stratospheric water vapour
content. The requisite scales are not there, and there is still debate
about the detailed physical and chemical mechanisms at work.
