Framing a Geoengineering Research Plan
April 7, 2017
4/7/17 – As the Earth continues to warm in response to human activities, the prospects of using engineering techniques to control climate change are gaining attention, the New York Times reports, noting that an important step is to invest more in research. In Issues, a pioneer in geoengineering has laid out the framework for a comprehensive US research plan, saying it should be part of a coherent climate policy agenda that includes vigorous support for climate science, increases efforts to cut emissions, helps the most vulnerable populations to adapt, develops negative emission technologies, and renews a commitment to growing international governance on climate matters.
