Geoengineering Politics Blog: Quick Recap of COP19 from a Geoengineering Perspective
„COP19 in Warsaw has come to its merciful conclusion, with little of significance to report from a geoengineering perspective.“

„We apply this energetic perspective to output from 11 fully coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation models simulating experiment G1 of the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP), which achieves top-of-atmosphere energy balance between an abrupt quadrupling of CO2 from preindustrial levels (abrupt4xCO2) and uniform solar irradiance reduction.“
