These news reports introduce a study issued on 4 October by the Bipartisan Policy Center, founded by former Senate majority leaders Howard Baker, Tom Daschle, Bob Dole and George Mitchell. The center claims to combine “politically balanced policymaking with strong, proactive advocacy and outreach.”
The center’s press release conveys much in its headline and subheadline: “Blue Ribbon Task Force on Climate Remediation Releases Report Calling for Federal Geo-Engineering Research Program—Experts Caution Greenhouse Gas Mitigation and Adaptation Measures Must Take Priority; Recommend Full Evaluation of Long-Term Feasibility and Consequences; Too Little Known to Discuss Deployment at this Time.”
