The White House should coordinate a multi-agency research program to investigate the feasibility of using "climate remediation" technologies - more commonly referred to as "geoengineering" - to stave off the worst consequences of global warming, a task force organized by the Washington-based Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) recommended Tuesday.
"The primary and single most important recommendation of our committee is that the government start doing research," said Jane Long, co-chair of the task force and Associate Director-at-Large at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California. "We should not move forward in ignorance.”
