Thank you for sharing that information. Being informed about geoengineering is of great importance to those of us interested in earth care and people care.

There was a great episode of Democracy Now a couple weeks ago that had a prominent geoengineering expert debating with Vandana Shiva about the efficacy of geoengineering to curb climate change. Shiva points out that in her agricultural experiments, she found it would be possible to curb/sequester 40 percent of current carbon emissions simply by transitioning agriculture to organic, regenerative practices. This is the same number that the Rodale Institute came up with. This is the kind of information that needs to be waved in front of people's faces so that when they think about responding to climate change, they'll automatically think about agriculture rather than seeding clouds.
