Glad to see this resolved!

BREAKING: Wigington v. MacMartin case has been dismissed. @DougMacMartin

I don't have access to the full order, only the first page shown here. But it's clear the case is over, and Dane Wigington lost. 👍

[Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability @AtkinsonCenter]

This edition of the Atkinson Update captures an innovative mix of developments led by @AtkinsonCenter Faculty Fellows, including @DougMacMartin's continued solar geoengineering analysis, with support from Cornell Atkinson. https://t.co/CmB2TDMEik

[Ben Furnas @bfurnas]

"A group of international scientists led by Cornell is – more rigorously and systematically than ever – evaluating if and how the stratosphere could be made “brighter,” reflecting more incoming sunlight so that a warming Earth maintains its cool."

@cristiproist @baylorfk @theAGU I have had funding that explicitly would not cover pub fees. I’ve had papers that weren’t published til long after funding expired. Are we expected to write personal checks? How is limiting who can publish a good thing?

[Douglas MacMartin @DougMacMartin]

@jneeley78 Utterly trivial to detect the aerosols in the stratosphere long before there’s any meaningful climatic effect.

@KevinSurprise Thanks - unclear to me who falls under your (IMO vague) "advocates" category and what you think they are advocating; I infer you didn't intend to include those of us who argue that more research is needed to better understand benefits and risks...

[Douglas MacMartin @DougMacMartin]

@SolarGeoeng I wish people would stop using deliberately misleading terms like "advocates" or "supporters" when describing people who believe in thoughtful evaluation so that any future decisions are better informed. (And baffled as to what here is disturbing?)

@MikeWel61647760 @GeoeWatchDebunk @geoengineering1 @DKeithClimate @KenCaldeira @AlanRobock There are engines that can get that high, but certainly no existing aircraft that can get to 20km with a payload. For a good analysis, see https://t.co/W4e6Qg7FGt

[Douglas MacMartin @DougMacMartin]

@GeoeWatchDebunk @MikeWel61647760 @geoengineering1 @DKeithClimate @KenCaldeira @AlanRobock I think H2O from the engines will be negligible; increased strat H2O from warmer tropopause will be a much bigger effect.

[Douglas MacMartin @DougMacMartin]

@GeoeWatchDebunk @geoengineering1 @DKeithClimate @KenCaldeira @AlanRobock No, at least not directly; the scenario is 1000x more SO2 than a large SAI deployment, so instead of warming the tropopause a bit, it eliminates it. Tropopause warming and associated increase in strat H2O is included in SAI modeling and offsets cooling a bit

New article out this week on SRM and peace

Why even spend time thinking about how solar geoengineering could interact with peace?

Because of concern about a self-reinforcing doom loop ... (1/5)

[Katie Dagon @katiedagon]

Happy to share that the full program for the @GordonConf Seminar on Climate Engineering is now online. Applications from early career scientists are still open until May 28. Join us in Maine this summer! @DanVisioni @DougMacMartin https://t.co/StWEcKGnmq

[Yaga Richter @YagaRichter]

On April 27, I'll be giving the @NCAR_Science Public Lecture together with @DougMacMartin on our recent climate intervention research in @NCAR_CGD and @CornellMAE. Join us!

[Katie Dagon @katiedagon]

Reminder: the abstract deadline for an oral presentation at the early career (student/postdoc) Climate Engineering GRS is this Friday March 25! https://t.co/StWEcKGnmq

[Douglas MacMartin @DougMacMartin]

Some (limited) travel/registration support is available for early career folk in particular who are working on CE (aka solar geoengineering or SRM) and need support to attend GRC/GRS; pls contact me by Mar 25, include affil. and proposed poster title.

[Douglas MacMartin @DougMacMartin]

Program for this summer's Gordon Research Conference on Climate Engineering is now online: https://t.co/u1Uy2FkKd0. Meeting will be in person.

[Douglas MacMartin @DougMacMartin]

Early career researchers are encouraged to apply to the Gordon Research Seminar too: https://t.co/3AgK2VvNLv
