Big names behind US push for geoengineering | John Vidal
a coalition representing the most powerful academic, military interests, science and business has its eyes on the immense potential benefits
scientists in the UK last week, "postponed", one of the first attempts to physically manipulate the world of the upper atmosphere to cool the planet. Okay, so that the injection of stratospheric particles for an engineering project climate was not exactly spraying thousands of tons of reflective particles into the air to reproduce a volcano, but the plan to send a ball with a hose connected to a kilometer from the skies over Norfolk was an important step towards the final technical solution to climate change.
The reason that British scientists were given out was that more time was needed for consultation. In retrospect, it seems strange that he had only spoken to some members of the public. Only when 60 international groups wrote to the British government and the groups behind the project Resarch for annulment to be paid attention to criticism.
over the Atlantic, however, geoengineers more enthusiastic. A few days after the British pulled back, the think-tank based in Washington Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) has published a major report calling on the United States and other like-minded countries to move toward large-scale experiment of climate change. Try to rename geoengineering as "the recovery of the climate", the report is full of rhetoric PCBs precaution, but his conclusion is that there is a presidential leadership for emerging technologies, a "coalition of the willing" countries to live together , scale testing and the financing of big government.
So what is the PCB and we take this non-profit group seriously? For starters, these guys - and certainly are mostly men - are not both parties in the sense that the British would understand. The operation is funded in part by oil companies, large pharmaceutical and biotechnology, and at the same time, it aims to "represent a consensus of what historically have been divergent views," which does seem to represent the most powerful U.S. academic, military interests, science and business. He advocates free trade, the U.S. military supremacy and power companies and was recently described as "a collection of neoconservatives, hawks and neo-liberal interventionists who want to wage war against Iran."
- Among the group is David Whelan, a man who has spent years in the Department of Defense U. S. working on the Stealth bomber and nuclear weapons and is currently leading a group of people such as Boeing's chief scientist working on "the means of finding new solutions to the toughest in the world."
also includes several of the most powerful university cheerleaders geoengineering. The environmental scientist Ken Caldeira, Stanford University, used to work at the Livermore National Laboratory with the developers of the failed "Star Wars" weapons. With David Keith, a researcher at the University of Calgary in Canada, which is also in the control PCB, manages the budget of the Caldeira billionaire Bill Gates geoengineering research. The two scientists have patents pending in the process of geo-engineering and the two were members of the Working Group of the Royal Society in the UK on geoengineering, which in 2009 recommended further investigation. Meanwhile, Keith is a company that develops a machine to suck CO
year and Caldeira of patented ideas to stop hurricanes to form.
