Pace Energy and Climate Change (PECC) staffer Wiliam Petland and I are doing a major paper on geo-engineering, documenting the very serious risks to the planet of changing the earth’s atmosphere and oceans, the undermining through promotion of geo-engineering of the vitally necessary steps that need to be taken by the international community for mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation to climate change to deal with the adverse effects of climate change that already have taken place, and making recommendations re use of existing international environmental law provisions that would prohibit geo-engineering. We would welcome inputs or collaboration with any experts in the field with respect to this endeavor.
Many thanks.
