revised status: climateintervention@googlegroups.com and geoengineering@googlegroups.com
Ken Caldeira
We will increasingly be limiting redundant, tangential, and low-information content posts on geoengi...@googlegroups.com, redirecting these discussions to climatein...@googlegroups.com.
The "Geoengineering" group (http://groups.google.com/group/geoengineering) is designed to meet the needs of working professionals in academia, research laboratories, and the policy world.
It is designed to transmit information and and act as a forum to
discuss research results, new ideas, and so on, at the level of an
intelligent graduate student in a related discipline. This group
focuses on direct intervention in Earth's energy balance (longwave and
shortwave radiation, ocean heat storage, etc) but includes discussion
ways to remove carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from the
atmosphere.
The "Climate Intervention" group (http://groups.google.com/group/climateintervention) is designed to meet the needs of citizens who would like to discuss intentional intervention in the climate system. Discussions should touch on intentional modification of climate but may range more broadly.
Andrew Lockley will now be lead moderator at
climatein...@googlegroups.com
(http://groups.google.com/group/climateintervention), with myself as
assistant. (Assistant covers during busy periods, vacations, etc.)
I will be continue to be lead moderator at geoengi...@googlegroups.com
(http://groups.google.com/group/geoengineering), with an as-of-now
anonymous assistant.
In the coming year, I look forward to increased focus and higher information density in the geoengineering googlegroup, and vigorous, speculative, and wide-ranging discussion in the climateintervention googlegroup.
Ken
