SRM-Science 2015

Solar Radiation Management for Climate Engineering. conference in Cambridge 12-14 March 2015 #srms15

[David Keith @DKeithClimate]

1/6 I am thrilled to announce that I have moved to @UChicago to lead a new initiative on Climate Systems Engineering. See news story. This thread addresses some obvious questions.

@MrNRowcliffe @janrosenow @TheEconomist yes, just that - resistive heating. Microwave heating offers no efficiency advantage. Heat pumps are more complicated - but not much different to a refrigerator. Economies of scale would bring prices down - after all, fridges are not that expensive.

Way to go Ethiopia! Such a cool site: https://t.co/XcgYhDnRVV

Our first panel discussion on climate change & public health is about to start, chaired by former Chief Gov medical advisor Dame Sally Davies & international panel of medical experts:

13/13 And finally, just to note that West Cumbria Mining’s own Environment ‘factsheet’ contains not a single mention of carbon, climate or emissions.

You say CCS is a waste of money but if the clock is ticking & we miss the target then don't we need CCS no matter how much it costs? #ccls17

Recognising 10% of population emit 50% of CO2 suggests new mitigation levers @piersforster @1p5deg @AliceClimate @StuartBCapstick #1point5

A great day at @MathsInspiratn in the @crucibletheatre Sheffield - just ask people who were there @CampsmountAcad https://t.co/4SHH6tM7bU

[Hugh Hunt @hughhunt]

Is anyone going to Paris for COP21? I'm going for 2 days. Curious if #geoengineering will be mentioned at all https://t.co/ktwiyXLxKM

[Hugh Hunt @hughhunt]

Great working with Gal Koplewitz (Harvard) #ClimateEngineering his essay in Harvard Politcal Review http://t.co/vIBaqAebhj @HarvardPolitics

[Duncan McLaren @mclaren_erc]

#CERSYM2015 Jon Egill Kristjansson now presenting idea of cirrus cloud thinning (to cool the planet by letting more long-wave radiation out)

[Carbon Dioxide Removal News @cdr_news]

Hugh Hunt: building such a high tower for SRM is nuts. #CERSYM2015

[Carbon Dioxide Removal News @cdr_news]

Hugh Hunt: Engineering a SRM delivery system is a major aerospace programme. #CERSYM2015

[Carbon Dioxide Removal News @cdr_news]

Rolf Müller: models should look at sensitivity of chlorine, particles, moisture concerning ozone loss of sulphur SRM #CERSYM2015

[Duncan McLaren @mclaren_erc]

#CERSYM2015 @hughhunt on #SRM delivery: 10 mt of particles would roughly double global aviation (30,000 flights per day)

[Duncan McLaren @mclaren_erc]

#CERSYM2015 Lena Boysen examining side-effects of terrestrial CO2 removal techniques such as afforestation or #biochar

[SRM-Science 2015 @srmscience]

@mclaren_erc @tiffanycameille The ceramic form aluminium oxide Al2O3 is proposed, doesn't require Al metal production. Still, SRM is risky!

Amazing graphic shows solar eclipse reducing German solar PV output.

We had a jolly, if overcast, eclipse viewing in Trinity @Trinity1546 : we managed a few glimpses,
