The Oxford Geoengineering Programme launched its new web page.
“The Oxford Geoengineering Programme was founded in 2010 as an initiative of the Oxford Martin School at the University of Oxford.”
Short report on the “Protecting the Arctic” hearing.
“Stanford scientist Ken Caldeira is busy working out models for a system to pump the atmosphere so full of sulfur that it cools the planet. It could have disastrous consequences–but would they be worse than total planetary destruction?”
Marc Gunther writing about CDR technologies. “Three startup companies led by prominent scientists are working on new technologies to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The scientific community is skeptical, but these entrepreneurs believe the process of CO2 removal can eventually be profitable and help cool an overheating planet.”
