We are surprised that Riegl and Purkis criticize our LV model for the potential hazards of applying it to management (something we don't do, or recommend), then argue for a global - scale biological introduction experiment based upon simulations from a single model (11).
Optogenetics works at micro scale, and fMRI covers wide regions of the brain — together this means that scientists have a way to intervene and experiment with entire brain circuits, to finally see how a certain type of brain cell affects the wider global activity of the entire brain.

Experiments resulted in enormous global interest, but its remote growth conditions made large - scale crop cultivation impossible until the 1990s.
Yes, there was work for geoscientists in diversified areas before «global warming» became known to average people and they would have gone into any number of subjects as a graduate student if human induced changes in greenhouse turned out (after calculation and experiment) to be unimportant at a global scale.
It is true that the scale (both spatial and temporal) of global climate processes makes controlled experiments impossible and theories of global warming difficult to test.
Perhaps a controlled experiment large enough to have meaning on a global scale will help?
Such experiments should be judged on their scientific merit, as well as the broader governance and ethics concerns around solar geoengineering, which should include potential biodiversity responses when the intention is to inform solar geoengineering deployment at the global scale.
Our study on the biodiversity consequences of a sudden start or stop to a global solar geoengineering deployment does not predict biodiversity responses to small - scale outdoor experiments.
The expansion of human civilization is an experiment on a global scale: What happens when a species obtains not only intelligence but technology?
Indeed, the global study of Dr. Lutz and colleagues suggests that greatly enhanced carbon sequestration should not be expected no matter the location or duration of proposed large - scale ocean fertilization experiments.
«TCR was originally defined as the warming at the time of CO2 doubling (i.e., after 70 years) in a 1 % yr — 1 increasing CO2 experiment (see Hegerl et al., 2007b), but like ECS, it can also be thought of as a generic property of the climate system that determines the global temperature response ΔT to any gradual increase in RF, ΔF, taking place over an approximately 70 - year time scale, normalized by the ratio of the forcing change to the forcing due to doubling CO2, F2 × CO2: TCR = F2 × CO2 ΔT / ΔF»
The two - day FAMOS workshop will include sessions on 2017 sea ice highlights and sea ice / ocean predictions, reports of working groups conducting collaborative projects, large - scale arctic climate modeling (ice - ocean, regional coupled, global coupled), small (eddies) and very small (mixing) processes and their representation and / or parameterization in models, and new hypotheses, data sets, intriguing findings, proposals for new experiments and plans for 2018 FAMOS special volume of publications.

I also think individuals and groups are going to engage in geoengineering experiments (sulfates, solar radiation management, ocean seeding etc.) and these may «work» in some sense, but I think these experiements are likely to have unintended consequences and be difficult to scale up and deploy as an effective means to address the pulse of CO2 we have injected into the global carbon cycle.
Some EMICs have been used to investigate both the climate of the last glacial maximum (see Section 8.5) as well as to investigate the cause of the collapse of the conveyor in global warming experiments (Stocker and Schmittner, 1997; Rahmstorf and Ganopolski, 1999) while others have been used to undertake a number of sensitivity studies including the role of sub-grid scale ocean mixing in global warming experiments (Wiebe and Weaver, 1999).
