Geo-engineering analysed by the Royal Society

Geo-engineering, also called  Earth Systems Engineering, has been a topic of debate within the Industrial Ecology Community for a number of years now.One of the founders of the field, Braden Allenby, as well as David Keith have been working on this topic. The topic is hotly debated because it is quite scary to speculate about technologies that temper with a complex system of which we know so little. On the other hand it might be one of the few solutions we have to prevent radical climate change. Today the BBC reports about a UK Royal Society study that  evaluates different geo-engineering options and concludes that engineering proposals to reduce the impact of climate change are "technically possible".
