However, they each come with significant and sometimes unanticipated costs, and they may be irreversible. What sorts of questions to we need to ask ourselves now before we let this genie out of the bottle? 5:30-6:30pm George Washington University Elliott School, Room 5051957 E Street NW Sponsored by the Climate and Water Security Initiative, and the Washington Geoengineering Consortium -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
