Re: [geo] Geoengineering and Non-Ideal Theory

This seems pretty clear to me. Why should dangerous geoengineering projects with almost certain large scale unintended consequences be researched simply because they are possible in fantasy? In many cases, the logistics seem close to absurd, and simply deflect money from more useful and

Re: [geo] Geoengineering and Non-Ideal Theory

The point, obviously, was not to "equate" SRM or CDR with any of those things, but to show by uncontroversial examples that your claim (i.e., that we "must carefully evaluate all alternative options") couldn't be taken literally. And if it can't be taken literally, then stipulating that any

Re: [geo] Geoengineering and Non-Ideal Theory

Very sorry.  I had no idea that geoengineering is now equated with "large-scale nuclear war; turning off all fossil-fueled power plants, vehicles, factories, etc., draining all the rice paddies, slaughtering all the cattle, etc. tomorrow—literally tomorrow, with all the attendant catastrophic

This paper came about as a consequence of helping to write the recent NRC report on Climate Intervention: Reflecting Sunlight to Cool the Earth. There was a question regarding whether Earth's climate would continue to drift as ocean circulation responded to solar geoengineering. We found that,

Re[2]: [geo] carbon sequestration by oysters

Completion of the argument from Oliver Tickell against oyster farming in the ocean or shelf might induce the opposite result: Oysters are filter feeders within the food chain. They remove all kind of suspended matter from the water column inklusive phytoplankton, phytoplankton detritus, clay

Re: [geo] carbon sequestration by oysters

There seems to be a fundamental error in this analysis. Far from sequestering CO2, this process emits CO2 to the atmosphere according to the reaction: Ca++ + 2HCO3- => CaCO3 + CO2 In the process depleting ocean alkalinity. Oliver. On 01/03/2016 22:27, Andrew Lockley wrote:
