Geo-engineering and its consequences are the price we have to pay for a failure to act on climate change, a report has said. The government’s former chief scientific adviser, Sir David King, explains why he disagrees. [more]

BBC NEWS | Science & Environment | Engineering Earth ‘is feasible’
Source: news.bbc.co.uk
A UK Royal Society study has concluded that many engineering proposals to reduce the impact of climate change are “technically possible”… It is an unpalatable truth that unless we can succeed in greatly reducing CO2 emissions, we are headed for a very uncomfortable and challenging climate future. Geo-engineering and its consequences are the price we may have to pay for failure to act on climate change… [more]
