“The Lorne Trottier Annual Science Symposium – Preventing Dangerous Climate Change: Geo-Engineering or Mitigation?

Some scientists argue mitigation alone can no longer prevent dangerous levels of CO2. Can we successfully manipulate the climate system to avoid dangerous climate change? Do we understand the global climate system well enough to determine the feasibility and risks involved?

Panel speakers included:
Professor Alan Robock Dept of Environmental Sciences, Rutgers University, NJ
Professor James Fleming Technology and Society, Colby College ME
Professor David Keith Director, ISEEE and Environmental Systems Group, Earth Sciences, University of Calgary
Dr. Phil Rasch Pacific Northwest National Laboratory WA

Following the debate, audience members will be invited to participate in a question period.”
- McGill Program

Keith spoke about using aerosols to deflect the rays of the sun although it wouldnt help with our current CO2 levels. According to him the aerosols would form marine stratocumulus clouds. He used a lot of emotive language in describing the perils to come with climate change and how it is our fault.
Flemming spoke about cloud seeding in Vietnam and Cuba yet continually emphasized how geo-engineering does not exist.
Robock spoke of all the different reasons geo-engineering might be bad including how it may do nothing at all. He did not address any health-related concerns.

“The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum.”
-Noam Chomsky

    overglorified weathermen, thats it- totally into political science. With ubersupport from industry and government.

    Its really all about governace, to them. In reality, climatology has nothing to do with political governance.

    so much for transperancy.

    this internet ‘coward’ was simply blocked for abuse, all abusive people and comments will be blocked from my channel. So if youre considering it- save your time and energy. If you cant communicate with ‘civility’ dont bother.

    he should probably watch this video, instead of posting abuse to me on it. But this is an example of the sort of engagement you will face exposing this on youtube- i believe this is his third sockpuppet to harrass me.
    Look at his subs and be aware of who these are.

    just wanting to reiterate the spam sent to me from ‘faithinscience’ which they removed, i blocked them for banal ad hominems so they posted here this message here, to me.
    “What a stupid, retarded coward you are. YOU may not know how ignorant and gullible you are, but I do. “chemtrails” do NOT exist and I don’t deny that “they” are with our atmosphere. The trails are just NOT evidence of any such thing. Why did you block me you retarded coward? The science proves me right, and you wrong.

    a very astute question that did go unanswered was: what will this do to our health?

    Geoengineering is a fact, anyone to tell you otherwise is a perfect idiot or a cunning fox on the take.

    Ya I guess it turns out that man-bear-pig is not real after all. Now we also know why algore has no friends. No real ones anyway. I guess his idea of a social gathering is being sued by 31,000 scientists. There seems to be a new trend developing in this country. If you are completely wrong about something…in every way…you just blame it on bad data and the people who gave you the bad data. There seems to be a complete lack of personal responsibility everywhere you go.

    1: CO2 has risen for 10 years, but temps have fallen.

    2: Higher temperatures cause CO2 increases, not the opposite.

    3: Many periods of warmer/cooler weather (and higher/lower CO2) have happened for 20,000+ years.

    4: The Mars polar ice-caps shrink/grow with the Earth polar ice-caps, which means warming/cooling is primarily caused by the sun.

    We need 100% separation of science and state.
    Government funded science == fraud.
    Plants absorb CO2 & emit O2.
    Hang the climate totalitarians.

    1. They didnt want to release their data or code,

    2. They clearly have some history of massaging the data . Results they can no longer even replicate on their own systems.

    3. They had successfully managed to restrict peer review to what we might call the RealClimate clique

    As a result, it looks like they found themselves trapped. They had the big research organizations, the big grants they discovered theyd built their conclusions on fine beach sand.

    But the tide was coming in.

    Our two countries …
    Our two countries are being shafted by the same group of people, the governments are just a smoke screen, as you well know. The patriots are being turned into the bad guy and those who are declaring war on freedom are behind the scenes. “Safety” and “peace” are the mottos they hide behind, when in reality, thier agenda couldnt be farther from that goal. My observations are times are changing rather quickly. Are the citizens really this un-observant and pacified? If so then we stand no chance.

    What your seeing …
    What your seeing here is known as the ” Delphi Technique”, which is a method used by usually a group of people entering into a discussion to make it look like a discussion, when in fact its just a show being put on to get the public on the bandwagon. They do this by setting definate limits on the topics and have a pre-determined outcome of the “discussion”. This method works best with a group of like minded participants. Your question was out of the prescribed subject ,hence the pathetic reply.

    I have the CRU e-mails and the best one so far is 1255550975.txt where 12 of the world’s top IPCC scientist talk about not having any idea what is happening with the climate and energy balace. Also, how bioengineering, ie CO2 emission controls, are totally pointless. These are the people telling us that the science is done, the debat is over. No, Climate Gate is going to be around for a long time and heads are going to roll.

    If the speaker wants to lower CO2, try designing an engine that will get 60%…like I am. Stop trying to use Gov. to promote YOUR control of other people’s money. If you get 60% and have solar you get over 80% of the fuel needs of a 3500 lbs car…gone. “problem” solved, and you don’t have to waste all the money on gas. This panel has NO clue, has no ideas worth a dime. Wake up. They are clueless…Oh AGW is a hoax. CO2 is a good thing… Google “height to extinction” …10 meters…
