November 19th, 2009 “The Lorne Trottier Annual Science Symposium – Preventing Dangerous Climate Change: Geo-Engineering or Mitigation? Some scientists argue mitigation alone can no longer prevent dangerous levels of CO2. 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? Panel speakers included: Professor Alan Robock Dept of Environmental Sciences, Rutgers University, NJ Professor James Fleming Technology and Society, Colby College ME Professor David Keith Director, ISEEE and Environmental Systems Group, Earth Sciences, University of Calgary Dr. Phil Rasch Pacific Northwest National Laboratory WA Following the debate, audience members will be invited to participate in a question period.” – mcgill Program 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. Flemming spoke about cloud seeding in Vietnam and Cuba yet continually emphasized how geo-engineering does not exist. 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. “The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly …

Understanding The Sun – The NASA Heliophysics Program. — Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — Heliophysics Science We live in an exciting environment: the heliosphere, the exotic outer atmosphere of a star. The space beyond Earths protective atmospheric cocoon is highly variable and far from benign. It is the one part of the cosmos accessible to direct scientific investigation, our only hands-on astrophysical laboratory. Our technological society is increasingly susceptible to space weather disturbances in this curious region. A host of interconnected physical processes, strongly influenced by solar variability, affect the health and safety of travelers in space and the habitability of alien environments. We call the science of the Sun-Solar System Connections “Heliophysics”. Building on nasas rich history of exploration of the Earths neighborhood and distant planetary systems, we are poised to develop the quantitative knowledge needed to help assure the safety of the new generation of human and robotic explorers. The Heliophysics Program has been completely reevaluated to address the needs of the Vision for Space Exploration. nasas future research and exploration within its Heliophysics program aims to “explore the Sun-Earth system to understand the Sun and its effects on Earth, the solar system, and the space environmental conditions that will be experienced by explorers, and to demonstrate technologies that …

The 2008 Wildscreen Festival, as ever, had a great line up of speakers, sessions, film screenings, workshops and networking events. Highlights included the gargantuan ‘Too Little, Too Late?’ event, which brought together Sir David Attenborough, Dr James Lovelock, John Hanke (Google Earth), and HRH Prince Carlos – an environmentalist from The Netherlands and grandson of WWF founder, Prince Bernhard. These four great minds discussed at length the most pressing environmental issues that the world now faces.
