GeoEngineering is anthropogenic intervention (incidental to Human activity and intentional via scientific based programs) in the climate systems of Earth.

As scientists debate whether GeoEngineering programs should be implemented, there those who believe some of these programs are currently being employed and are extremely harmful to the health of the environment. One such believer is Dane Wiginton who runs the website GeoEngineeringWatch. www.geoengineeringwatch.orgThe website contains an extensive amount of material. Wigington hosts a weekly commercial free radio program, which is uploaded on Sundays. As per his website. |

COP23 - Geoengineering Governance: Can we Refreeze the Arctic? Published on Nov 25, 2017 by UPFSI Scientists and engineers need to research ways of refreezing the Arctic. But 'geoengineering' is still a taboo topic. We need to do the R&D now, and come up with governance structures while we still have time. Our show discusses this complex problem. m.youtube.com/watch?v=y-zrj8z5GFU |

Stanford University Seminar: Climate Change, Ice911 and Geoengineering Published on Jan 5, 2017 by Stanford Online. EE292H: Engineering and Climate Change Climate Change, Ice911, Geoengineering Speakers: Dr. Leslie Ann Field, Stanford University Armand Neukermans, Adagio, Inc. The purpose of this seminar series is to help students and professionals develop the tools to apply the engineering and entrepreneurial mindset to problems that stem from climate change, in order to consider and evaluate possible stabilizing, remedial and adaptive approaches. This course is not a crash course on climate change or policy. Instead we will focus on learning about and discussing climate problems that seem most likely to benefit from the engineering mindset.

Dr Hugh Hunt, CUED (Cambridge University Engineering Department). Controlling the Climate: Can we refreeze the Arctic? Published on May 6, 2017 by Nick Breeze. Dr Hugh Hunt, CUED Friday 05 May 2017, 16:30-17:00 Cambridge University Engineering Department. We may want to cool the planet if (when) we fail to meet our CO2 emissions targets. There are “geoengineering” technologies out there almost ready to go and some sound quite scary. Many pundits question whether it is safe to meddle with the climate when we only have one Earth, but others argue that we haven’t much time left before climate change runs away from us. This talk will present two technologies, one SRM (Solar Radiation Management) and the other GGR (Greenhouse Gas Removal). The SPICE project ( www.spicepipe.co.uk ) is an SRM technique that attracted a great deal of attention as it considered a means for injecting aerosols into the stratosphere using a tethered balloon. The SPRNGG project ( www.sprngg.com ) is a non-CO2 GGR approach that looks at air capture of the other important greenhouse gases methane CH4, Nitrous Oxide N2O and CFC12 . The relevance to the Arctic is that SRM may be urgently required to slow down the progress of melting. But if we’re too late and the arctic permafrost warms up then GGR will be needed to capture billions of tonnes of atmospheric methane. The scale of the problem is huge, and we’re not well prepared. m.youtube.com/watch?v=7RqFw3bQHJc |
