Dear Colleagues,

Ted Parson will be joining us this coming week at our members forum (see announcement below). It would be very timely moment to have you with us for this conversation.

I just ran across Pall Gunnarsson's article for SRM360 a few days ago that was entitled:

Iceland and the AMOC: When Existence Is at Stake

It was a great short and pithy piece of work. I was particularly struck by his proposition that:

“Iceland could realistically convene a coalition of like-minded nations and philanthropic funders to mount a concentrated effort to determine whether SRM could help stabilise the AMOC.”

It is heartening that more voices are speaking out to support coalition-building among nations. As you know, The Healthy Planet Action Coalition has been engaged for the past 15 months now in many countries across the globe to build such a coalition to address the great global heating emergency. 

Pall Gunnarsson, Paul Gambill and I will be having a brainstorm on Tuesday to explore prospects for linking the Iceland and Nordic interests in a coalition with those arising  in Asia and Africa through the efforts of many of our colleagues.

Thus, it’ll be very interesting to brainstorm with you further on Thursday on how to most effectively create such a global coalition.

Thanks, and Onwards,

Dennis

PS I was particularly excited to learn recently from Ted Parson all about the great success at the Latin America SRM workshop in January. And to learn from him that there are some really promising opportunities to do much useful follow up work in that region as well. Cheers.

As background to this meeting, here is a draft chapter from my forthcoming book on the Albedo Accord, exploring how the Montreal Protocol provides a governance model for action to restore planetary albedo.

Dear Colleagues,

Please join us as we host Mark Lynas at our members forum on Thursday.

Mark is the author of a number of books about climate change, including the 2008 classic Six Degrees.

Time: 5.30 pm EDT, Thursday 28 May (90 minutes)

Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88954851189?pwd=2OEdvleb4UpYfK4a950ryohFWcw93F.1

Mark is currently working on a mass-market book that will be the first to directly propose an SRM program to keep the planet within the 2C upper guardrail of the Paris Agreement. He is going to share his book proposal - currently under consideration by his previous publisher Bloomsbury - and get feedback from our experts group. 

This meeting will accordingly be somewhat confidential and will not be recorded so that the discussions can be candid and helpful without being fully public. 

Mark is also science advisor at the 74-country Climate Vulnerable Forum, which represents 1.8 billion people in the Global South - almost none of whom, top government officials included, even know that SRM is an option. 

He is also policy lead with WePlanet, a grassroots pro-science environmental NGO/movement that is looking at running a global impact campaign demanding more ambitious research and development of SRM, including field-scale trials. 

This promises to be an important conversation - please do join us.

Onwards,

Dennis

Coming up in 45 minutes...

[Garrity, Dennis]

Colleagues,

The latest science indicates that global temperature acceleration has intensified enormously. Projections now indicate that it is likely that we may reach 2 degrees by around 2030 and possibly 2.5 degrees by one decade from now:

Global Warming Acceleration Can Increase Global Temperature to 2C or even 2.5C by 2035: New Research

Video by Paul Beckwith 

https://youtu.be/SPSsKhNQ_8c?si=DaV69i-UQm9y1f6f. 

The video is a review of the new paper on "Global warming acceleration in satellite observed lower-tropospheric temperature"; https://lnkd.in/d-_5Tdsp

Just imagine the implications of this.

Onwards, Dennis

PS In case you missed it: Robert Tulip has now shared a draft of his new book on The Albedo Accord on his substack, and he is welcoming feedback on it:

Robert’s thesis is that the private sector is key to building the needed political pressure for a 1st movers coalition to develop a new global agreement to govern sunlight reflection.
