Does anyone know how the name of Heinrich Boell, the German author who died in 1985, has become associated with the naive and impractical ideas of the ETC group?

[Jan Minx]

Heinrich Boell Foundation is the political foundation of the Green Party in Germany. They are very diverse, but the people working on climate policy right now tend to be opposed to both carbon dioxide removal and solar radiation management. Note that this is not necessarily the position of the green party as a whole.

All the best,

Jan
