Discussions regarding proposals to reverse some of the climate effects of greenhouse gas emissions by means of direct engineering of the climate system (for example, by engineering a reduction in the amount of sunlight absorbed by the Earth).
Discussions may consider science, engineering, politics, ethics, economics, etc.
Discussions of other proposals to intevene in planetary processes at large scale, or modify climate at any scale, are also welcome.

GUIDELINES FOR POSTING TO THE GEOENGINEERING GOOGLEGROUP
1. ALL POSTS MUST ADDRESS CLIMATE ENGINEERING ( GEOENGINEERING ).
General posts on climate, the carbon cycle, carbon capture and storage,
human nature, etc, will be considered off topic.
2. NO POST MAY MAKE AN AD HOMINEM ATTACK OR SPECULATE ABOUT SOMEBODY ELSE'S MOTIVATION.
3. ALL POSTS MUST ADD NEW INFORMATION. [ If you do not have new
information to add, please do not post to the entire group. You can
always email individual posters with you opinion statements. ]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Please be polite and respectful. It is OK to exhibit ignorance and wrongheadedness once in a while. It is not OK to be impolite or disrespectful when pointing out someone else's ignorance and wrongheadedness. Somewhat arbitrary and ineffective attempts at moderation are being made by Ken Caldeira (kcaldeira@stanford.edu).
