Form to make comments on AGU position draft for climate interventions - Jan. 20 deadline - AGU membership not required!

[Ron Baiman]

Dear Colleagues,

Here’s the link to the form to make comments on the AGU position paper draft statement on climate interventions.  All comments are due by Jan 20.

https://www.agu.org/Share-and-Advocate/Share/Policymakers/Position-Statements/Draft-Climate-Intervention

Leslie has confirmed that the deadline for comments has been extended to Jan. 20th and that AGU membership is not necessary.

Best,

Ron

Ron B:

Thanks for the added alert.

I just sent in these two (relatively painless - as a non-AGU member):

"1.  Your 2019 version contains the word "soil".  The 2023 version does not.  This could be interpreted to mean AGU no longer believes soils are important.  In fact soils are clearly the place where the most depletion has occurred,  much on soils is now possible and underway,  and where much more is needed for both climate and non-climate reasons.

2.   Your list of references for a 2023 publication would benefit from having one or more post 2020.  Biochar (soil-emphasis) advanced greatly in both 2021 and 2022.;  maybe 8000 publications to choose from since 2020; many with an AGU focus.  Footnote (v) could be expanded."

FYI, attached is my revised version and commentary.  I also suggested that the treatment of governance could be enhanced by being made more focused and succinct, and less repetitive.
