Updates below Experts convened by the National Academy of Sciences have weighed in with valuable reports on the two main «geoengineering» strategies
for countering global warming driving by the buildup of greenhouse gases:
We need dedicated, clear, decisive leadership and action to beneficially
counter global warming by governments, NGOs [iv], corporations, and individuals.
Today, Britain's Royal Society released a report (pdf), «Geoengineering the Climate,» which urges the increased study of technologies that could
counter global warming while cautioning that the side effects could be substantial and possibly prohibitive.
There's a useful package of pieces in Slate (related to a meeting on Monday) exploring aspects of the intensifying debate over «geo - engineering,» the batch of methods proposed as ways to
counter global warming with artificial cooling.
One favoured and much - examined technique is to
counter global warming by reducing the levels of sunlight that hit the planet's surface, a technique called solar radiation management.
Despite surging energy prices and ever - spreading carbon taxes to
counter global warming, many primary processing industries are still pouring potential profit down the drain by overlooking the green energy potential of waste water.
Amid surging energy prices and the need for measures to
counter global warming, green energy generation from wastewater treatment does not always get as much attention as more traditional renewables such as solar and wind.
Green power generation turns wastewater treatment into a «cash cow» - while also preserving the environment Amid surging energy prices and the need for measures to
counter global warming, green energy generation from wastewater treatment -LSB-...]
There are some ideas around for geoengineering mega-projects which might
counter global warming.
«If we do take rapid action to
counter global warming and slow the rise in temperatures, southern storms tracks are likely to return to a more northerly position.
Conservationists applaud improvements in the reef's health and resilience, but caution that current government policies do far too little to
counter global warming, which officials and scientists both agree is the greatest threat to the reef's long - term survival.
People have been talking about deliberately altering climate to
counter global warming, he says, for as long as they have been worrying about global warming itself.
(08/15/2005) An article in The Sunday Times reports that a scientist is working a cloud manufacturing technique to
counter global warming.
Geoengineering — the deliberate, large - scale intervention in the climate system to
counter global warming or offset some of its effects — may enable humanity to mobilize its technological power to seize control of the planet's climate system, and regulate it in perpetuity.
Economic growth in developing countries was much more important than
countering global warming, Mr Howard said, and the West had no right to deny economic development to the rest of the world in the name of climate change.
While
countering global warming is necessary, it is also hugely expensive and will cost us hugely in terms of standard of living.
Research teams have repeatedly examined ideas for
countering global warming, instead of reducing the cause, and found them wanting: such action world ultimately fail, or it would make the world's problems worse, or at best it would take the heat out of the hurricane season.
In order to
counter global warming, several techniques to reflect sunlight back into space have been suggested.
Sometimes known as «Plan B,» geoengineering covers a variety of technologies aimed at deliberate, large - scale intervention in the climate system to
counter global warming.
Not only that, but the actions that are being proposed to
counter global warming are becoming increasingly dangerous.
On the same day that President Obama announced his new climate change proposal, a report from an insurance industry trade group urged action to
counter global warming for a different reason.

There is no effective program to either
counter global warming or address the very real propect of running short of the main energy source that power this technogical society that we have created.
I agree that the best way to
counter global warming in the long term is to immediately cut the emission of greenhouse gasses, but as you have stated in other articles this is unlikely to happen, even with the most recent proposals.
If nuclear the best we can do to
counter global warming and environmental damage we are all doomed anyway.
