Member Profile
I'm a retired commercial fisherman and ex-medic with 6 years of independent study concerning climate change mitigation/adaptation. I'm the author of the IMBECS Protocol Draft and a regular contributor to the Google Group/Geoengineering site and other discussion groups related to large scale climate change mitigation/adaptation means and methods.
I'm developing the concept of a marine centric Biogeoengineering disipline as a counter to the chemical based Geoengineering concept known as Stratospheric Aerosol (sulfuric acid) Injection (SAI). In brief, SAI will, in it's current protocol, significantly increase polar heating by increasing the production of polar stratospheric clouds (PSC), which are responsible for the majority of polar warming rates, and thus SAI has the real and significant potential to propel us into an Arctic Methane Tipping Point and other catastrophic climate warming related events.
The SAI and PSC link has never been modeled by the proponents of SAI. Yet, the belief that SAI will save us, or buy us time in the event of catastrophic climate change, has been accepted by both national and international authorities. The basic science tells us that the assumption that SAI would be a useful planetary climate change emergency plan against global warming...is simply....false.
The use of SAI would be...itself...catistrophic.
I live by a peaceful 15 acre spring fed mountain lake, within 40 acres of second growth forest, in the North Cascades and enjoy exploring the Mt. Baker Wilderness in search of undiscovered fungi and other flora and fauna.
