Yes, I already told them no.  I just thought others would find this request 
interesting.

Glad you stuck in there, Alan.



There actually was one other geoengineering question - asked by a Columbia 
student of Andrew Yang. His answer was pretty great:

  He immediately called me "Sir," and said he did not know anything about it, 
but would find out.  Today Rutgers got an email from his office asking for more 
information and I will explain what it is and why we need more resources for 
research.

I did not intend to embarrass him.  I submitted the same question to CNN to be 
asked of all 10 candidates, and they decided to invite me and have me ask it of 
my own Senator.  I spent 4 hours in the audience listening to Biden, Sanders, 
Warren, Buttigieg, O'Rourke, and Booker, and was the last person to ask a 
question.  It was a long time, but very interesting.  Mine was the only 
geoengineering question.  Booker referenced one, and it must have been to one 
of the four other candidates who appeared before my 4 hours.

The other interesting email I got today was the one below.  How do you 
recommend I answer?   My plan is to say that appearing there would give 
legitimacy to a "debate" about settled science.  I have not debated global 
warming deniers for years now for this reason.

Re: [geo] My CNN geoengineering question to Sen. Cory Booker

[Olivier Boucher]

Alan

I now decline such invitations because I consider them to be a trap. A 
symmetric one-to-one or four-to-four debate with skeptics does not work in the 
eyes of the public. It becomes a rhetoric thing. The public gets out that the 
scientists disagree, which is the primary objective of the organizer. This is a 
pity bceause beyond climate change there is a real debate to have on energy 
choices and so on.

Re: [geo] My CNN geoengineering question to Sen. Cory Booker

[Jessica Gurevitch]

Alan,
Thanks for this. I watched the first 4 candidates, but I confess I fell
asleep before your question, but I just watched the YouTube link.
Excellently put, and an honest answer. I'm glad this is getting national
attention.
And if you don't debate skeptics, the Heartland thing is probably out--the
problem is the false equivalence. My only response to the denial is the
consequences of Type I and Type II error: What is the worst thing that can
happen if the denialist politicians are wrong and we act to reduce climate
change? (economic slowdown, loss of jobs, takeover by liberals seems to be
it) What is the worst thing that can happen if the scientists are wrong and
we continue business as usual? (Well, you know) [I refuse to call the
denalists anything but politicians (or worse)]. To them: Do you (literally)
want to bet the farm (house on the beach, etc.) that there is no chance
you're wrong, denalists? Not even a 2% chance that the scientists are
right?
Of course, probability is not something most people think in terms of, but
they do understand gambling. Other than that, arguing or debating seems
futile.

Dear Andy,

Yes, that is a great answer.  I had not seen it, as those 3 hours were while I

Dr. Robock,



[NOTE: This letter is sent on behalf of Frank Lasée, president of The Heartland 
Institute.]



In the wake of your excellent public performance on CNN last night, The 
Heartland Institute would like to invite you to participate in an interactive 
discussion and debate on climate change in New York City on September 23 in 
conjunction with the United Nations Climate Action Summit. The goal of the 
Heartland Institute event is to broaden public knowledge about the most 
important and most discussed issues related to climate change.



The event will feature up to five climate experts and policymakers who warn of 
an imminent climate crisis, and up to five climate experts and policymakers who 
are skeptical of an asserted crisis. Each evenly matched side will be given 
equal time to make their case in a live event streamed globally on YouTube. 
Each participant will be given time to make an opening statement as well as 
answer questions posed by a moderator. One participant from each side will be 
allowed to present a final summary.



We welcome suggested questions from each side. The moderator’s questions may 
also include:



•  Does the world really have just 12 years left to radically transform our 
lifestyles and energy sources to prevent unstoppable and catastrophic climate 
change?

•  Will melting glaciers release cataclysmic ancient diseases?

•  How have United Nations climate models fared in their temperature 
predictions?

•  How much of the observed warming is caused by people and how much is caused 
by nature?

•  Is climate change making extreme weather events more frequent and severe?

•  Is climate change causing a refugee crisis?

•  Is observed climate change already harming food production?

•  What observational evidence would induce you to change your current position 
on the causes and consequences of climate change?

•  Would action by the United States or Western democracies have much impact 
without substantial reductions from China and other rapidly developing nations?

•  Is it possible

Re: [geo] My CNN geoengineering question to Sen. Cory Booker

[David Appell]

Alan, you might talk to Scott Denning of Colorado State University and
watch some of his interactions with the Heartland Institute. Just Google
"scott denning heartland institute" and some videos immediately pop up.
He's tried to present the science to them a few times at their conferences.

[geo] My CNN geoengineering question to Sen. Cory Booker

[Alan Robock]

Dear Colleagues,

Last night I attended CNN's Climate Town Hall, and asked my Senator Cory Booker 
a question about solar geoengineering research.  You can see it starting at 
27:44 on 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHIMD2E6DgE=PL29Rq0wvBhgOcY9ew5490FwzT5U5N6CqT=11=0s
  He immediately called me "Sir," and said he did not know anything about it, 
but would find out.  Today Rutgers got an email from his office asking for more 
information and I will explain what it is and why we need more resources for 
research.

I did not intend to embarrass him.  I submitted the same question to CNN to be 
asked of all 10 candidates, and they decided to invite me and have me ask it of 
my own Senator.  I spent 4 hours in the audience listening to Biden, Sanders, 
Warren, Buttigieg, O'Rourke, and Booker, and was the last person to ask a 
question.  It was a long time, but very interesting.  Mine was the only 
geoengineering question.  Booker referenced one, and it must have been to one 
of the four other candidates who appeared before my 4 hours.

The other interesting email I got today was the one below.  How do you 
recommend I answer?   My plan is to say that appearing there would give 
legitimacy to a "debate" about settled science.  I have not debated global 
warming deniers for years now for this reason.

Dr. Robock,



[NOTE: This letter is sent on behalf of Frank Lasée, president of The Heartland 
Institute.]



In the wake of your excellent public performance on CNN last night, The 
Heartland Institute would like to invite you to participate in an interactive 
discussion and debate on climate change in New York City on September 23 in 
conjunction with the United Nations Climate Action Summit. The goal of the 
Heartland Institute event is to broaden public knowledge about the most 
important and most discussed issues related to climate change.



The event will feature up to five climate experts and policymakers who warn of 
an imminent climate crisis, and up to five climate experts and policymakers who 
are skeptical of an asserted crisis. Each evenly matched side will be given 
equal time to make their case in a live event streamed globally on YouTube. 
Each participant will be given time to make an opening statement as well as 
answer questions posed by a moderator. One participant from each side will be 
allowed to present a final summary.



We welcome suggested questions from each side. The moderator’s questions may 
also include:



•  Does the world really have just 12 years left to radically transform our 
lifestyles and energy sources to prevent unstoppable and catastrophic climate 
change?

•  Will melting glaciers release cataclysmic ancient diseases?

•  How have United Nations climate models fared in their temperature 
predictions?

•  How much of the observed warming is caused by people and how much is caused 
by nature?

•  Is climate change making extreme weather events more frequent and severe?

•  Is climate change causing a refugee crisis?

•  Is observed climate change already harming food production?

•  What observational evidence would induce you to change your current position 
on the causes and consequences of climate change?

•  Would action by the United States or Western democracies have much impact 
without substantial reductions from China and other rapidly developing nations?

•  Is it possible for scientists with differing views to cooperate together 
rather than form isolated camps?



The Heartland Institute will cover all of your travel expenses and will 
contribute $1,000 to the charity of your choice in lieu of a personal 
honorarium. We hope this event will provide a valuable public service by 
increasing public knowledge on key climate change issues and also bringing 
together scientists from all perspectives to facilitate greater future 
cooperation and scientific advancement.
