Description:Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pages: 38. Chapters: Stephen Schneider, Iron fertilization, Solar radiation management, Cool roof, Weather control, List of proposed geoengineering projects, Stratospheric sulfur aerosols, Cloud reflectivity modification, Stratospheric sulfate aerosols, Intellectual Ventures, Paul J. Crutzen, Ocean nourishment, Arctic geoengineering, Stephen Salter, Jeff Goodell, Christopher McKay, Transarctica, Asilomar international conference on climate intervention technologies, Space mirror, Virgin Earth Challenge, Greenhouse gas remediation, ETC Group, Five Ways to Save the World, Klaus Lackner, David Keith, Lowell Wood, Enhanced weathering, Bio-geoengineering, List of geoengineering topics. Excerpt: The modern concept of geoengineering (or climate engineering) describes deliberately manipulating the Earth's climate to counteract the effects of global warming from greenhouse gas emissions. Other uses of the word sometimes occur. The National Academy of Sciences defined geoengineering as "options that would involve large-scale engineering of our environment in order to combat or counteract the effects of changes in atmospheric chemistry." The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded in 2007 that geoengineering options, such as ocean fertilization to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, remained largely unproven. It was judged that reliable cost estimates for geoengineering had not yet been published. Geoengineering accompanies mitigation and adaptation to form a three-stranded 'MAG' approach to tackling global warming, notably advocated by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Some geoengineering techniques are based on carbon sequestration. These techniques seek to reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere directly. These include direct methods (e.g. carbon dioxide air capture) and indirect methods (e.g. ocean iron fertilization). These t...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
