Emergency preparedness is generally considered to be a good thing, yet there is no plan regarding what we might do should we be faced with a climate emergency. Such an emergency could take the form of a rapid shift in precipitation patterns, a collapse of the great ice sheets, the imminent triggering of strong climate system feedbacks, or perhaps the loss of valuable ecosystems.
Over the past decade, we have used climate models to investigate the potential to reverse some of the effects of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by deflecting some incoming sunlight back to space. This would probably be most cost-effectively achieved with the placement of small particles in or above the stratosphere. Our model simulations indicate that such geoengineering approaches could potentially bring our climate closer to the state is was in prior to the introduction of greenhouse gases.
This talk will present much of what is known about such geoengineering approaches, and raise a range of issues likely to stimulate lively discussion.
Speaker: Ken Caldeira
Ken Caldeira is a scientist at the Carnegie Institution Department of Global Ecology and a Professor (by courtesy) at the Stanford University Department of Environmental and Earth System Sciences. Previously, he worked for 12 years in the Energy and Environment Directorate at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (Department of Energy). His research interests include the numerical simulation of Earth's climate, carbon, and biogeochemistry; ocean acidification; climate emergency response systems; evaluating approaches to supplying environmentally-friendly energy services; ocean carbon sequestration; long-term evolution of climate and geochemical cycles; and marine biogeochemical cycles. Caldeira has a B.A. in Philosophy from Rutgers College and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences from New York University.

hmmm wonder if the govt. spraying aluminum into our atmosphere( chemtrail ) is keeping the co2 from escaping ???

oh yeah al gore wouldn't get any money out of everybody planting trees. so that of course won't do. blah

just plant some trees jackasses. it will absorb all the co2 we're creating. don't be stupid just talking and talking doing nothing!
oh and it doesn't mean we should stop cutting trees. on the contrary, cut more trees but make sure to plant 2x the amount back. easy as that
how expensive can few trees cost u? definitely less than all ur other options and all these costs of global warming cartel meeting up.

Any talk about geo-engineering (or engineering of any kind) that doesn't mention the word ENTROPY somewhere, let alone do a serious calculation of it, is worthless bullshit.
By the 2nd Law of Thermo, geoengineering can NEVER be as good as simply preventing the CO2 going into the atmosphere in the first place.
Stop having kids. Go vegan. And mandate both by law. Outlaw coal. Solar and wind ONLY for electricity. BOOM! Problem solved.

Well somebody has been funding it for about 2 decades........This has been overhead since the 1990's..Thanks for asking the rest of us how we felt about it..
