Climatologist Speaks On the Effects of Geoengineering
Lasrick writes: In this interview with Rutgers University climatologist Alan Robock, he discusses geoengineering and nuclear winter. Robock believes that geoengineering is not the solution to global warming because of its many risks and unknowns. He notes that some of the technology that would be required to implement geoengineering has not been developed and that many socio-political questions would have to be resolved before it could be put into practice. To start with, the world would have to reach agreement on a target temperature and on what entity should do the implementing. Robock's biggest fear with regard to geoengineering is that disputes over these questions could escalate into nuclear war which in turn could cause nuclear winter, producing global famine among other effects. Fascinating, wide-ranging interview with one of the world's top climatologists.
Ah, yes. Warmist nut jobs. I bet you are one of those people who gets offended when they get called a denier. I bet that you are also not qualified to know whether those claims of a climate change link to earthquakes are true or not.
But hey, don't let that stop you.
Facts do indeed trump propaganda. The facts are that, contrary to the initial claim, the IPCC models have been very good at predicting the changes we've seen.
If you want to talk about something else, start a new thread.
