Scientist Alan Robock, Rutgers University, meets with protesters before his scheduled session, "Can Geoengineering Save Us from Global Warming? ". Protesters claim geoengineering is already taking place with chemical spraying (via persistant jet trails also known as "chemtrails") while Mr. Robock argues they are confused with normal contrails that produce cirrus clouds.<br /> <br /> Alan Robock is funded by the US National Science Foundation, to evaluate "the efficacy and possible consequences of proposals to reduce incoming solar radiation to counteract global warming by injecting aerosol particle into the stratosphere." Recent papers describe climate model simulations and the benefits, risks, and costs of stratospheric geoengineering.

Can we successfully manipulate the climate system to avoid dangerous climate change? Do we understand the global climate system well enough to determine the feasibility and risks involved?<br /> <br /> Panel speakers included:<br /> Professor Alan Robock Dept of Environmental Sciences, Rutgers University, NJ<br /> Professor James Fleming Technology and Society, Colby College ME<br /> Professor David Keith Director, ISEEE and Environmental Systems Group, Earth Sciences, University of Calgary<br /> Dr. Phil Rasch Pacific Northwest National Laboratory WA<br /> <br /> Following the debate, audience members will be invited to participate in a question period."<br /> - McGill Program<br /> <br /> Keith spoke about using aerosols to deflect the rays of the sun although it wouldnt help with our current CO2 levels. According to him the aerosols would form marine stratocumulus clouds. He used a lot of emotive language in describing the perils to come with climate change and how it is our fault.<br /> Flemming spoke about cloud seeding in Vietnam and Cuba yet continually emphasized how geo-engineering does not exist.<br /> Robock spoke of all the different reasons geo-engineering might be bad including how it may do nothing at all. He did not address any health-related concerns.
