Ken Caldeira named among science heroes of 2008

[Sam Carana]

The collective brain of New Scientist has come up with 8 scientist
heroes of the year, including:

Ken Caldeira

Caldeira, of the Carnegie Institution, has been investigating
geoengineering claims for years. This year he was brought in by the
British government to talk about ways in which we could geoengineer
the climate to save us from global warming. If we don't get greenhouse
gas emissions down, we're going to need a Plan B - and people like
Caldeira to do the research for us. He's also been asked to organise a
session on geoengineering in Copenhagen next year, where world leaders
will meet to sign the successor to the Kyoto protocol.
