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.
