Some reactions to the NAS reports on "Climate Intervention" new rebranding of Climate Geoengineering

Most real time reactions were available trough the twitter hashtag #ClimateIntervention.
At the bottom there are also some of the reactions from printed media sources and the blogosphere.

Although I had a few questions I would had liked to ask, I thought the most important for me, at the moment, was weather or not these reports were going to be available in Spanish.

The overarching themes of the conference, and the debate in general are the scientific, ethical and security concerns part of which is the need to provide basic up to date scientific knowledge to inform not only the scientific and policy communities, but the public debate as well, which must include the global community and not only a particular State or set of States; and this global community should not be taken to be only NGOs and Civil Society groups. These groups have a very important role, but act as second or third party information re-layers, but mostly 'interpreters'. Which means that by the time the information reaches the public at large, it has been already influenced and changed by the particular views of these actors, those being political, environmental, commercial, etc. Think of that old childhood game 'telephone', where a particular set of instructions or information is given only to the first person in a long line of participants. Each person upon receiving the information is to relay it quietly to the next, 'without changing it' or 'as close as possible'. If you haven't played, the usual result is that the last person receives a message that has been substantially changed, or is often missing or has been added non related information. Even here on this blog we are not exempt from those dynamics!

For that reason making these reports available in an unadulterated form in other languages may also be important for climate justice, human rights and very importantly for the security concerns of the producing State.

So that is why I think that these two reports should be available from the producers in at least some of the other major languages, i.e. Spanish, etc.
O.E.

Twitts regarding Ralph J. Cicerone's comments:

"Cicerone: message of NAS has been clear-most effective, least risky way to address climate change? reduce GHG emissions #climateintervention"

"But planet is not on a clear path to reduce emissions," says Cicerone #climateintervention"

"Cicerone: scientific community needs to have answers regarding consequences of ever deploying #climateintervention strategies"

"Every year of inaction requires technological demands #Geoengineering says Prez Cicerone #climateintervention"

'"#climateintervention is no substitute for reductions in carbon dioxide emissions." @NASciences'

Twitts regarding Marcia McNut K. the committee's president:

"NAS/NRC not only separating #CDR and #SRM ("albedo modification") but rebranding whole of #geoengineering as #climateintervention"

"SRM has unknown risk, and known substantial risks, but could be effective and quick. #climateintervention (2/2)"

"#CDR is low risk but relatively expensive today: key conclusion from @NASciences #climateintervention report"

'".@Marcia4Science: “There is no silver bullet. We cannot continue on our current path assuming that #climateintervention will save us.”'

"NAS McNutt: OIF "more risky" than other sink enhancement #climateintervention #Geoengineering"

"NAS recommendation #2: R&D to improve CDR at scales that matter. #climateintervention"

'"#climateintervention @Marcia4Science "albedo modification ... should not be deployed at this time"'

"NAS rec #5: US should improve capacity to detect/measure radiative forcing, and associated changes in climate. #climateintervention"

"NAS governance: transparent, inclusive conversations. max benefits of research, designed to minimize future risks. #climateintervention"

"NAS call for open, transparent governance for SRM research, involving civil society #Geoengineering #climateintervention"

Twitts related to Q & A:

".@dwtitley: Since 2009, when UK Royal Society released similar #climateintervention report, 50% more research in literature"

"Q to #climateintervention: Governance seems to focus only on US side. How do we get all the global stakeholders involved?"

"Abdalati: goal is to weigh "risks of intervening vs the risks of not intervening" #climateintervention Former is poorly known"

"Waleed Abdalati: Mitigation and adaptation should be the goal, then to understand risks of intervening #ClimateIntervention"

"#Science must be at the table along with legal, political, ethical parties says @dwtitley @NASciences #climateintervention"

"Q: legal/social issues - committee makeup primarily scientific, report recs initiating broader societal discussion #climateintervention"

"NAS emphasise risks of 'lock-in' of SRM because of termination effect #climateintervention #Geoengineering"

"NAS: SRM #Geoengineering can't 'dial back the climate' it can only make a 'different climate' #climateintervention"

"Distinct governance concerns for CDR and albedo modification, mostly bc of scale (OIF an exception). #climateintervention"

'"Counter-intuitive effects of #albedo mod in the #Arctic...may actually lead to warmer conditions." @dwtitley #climateintervention'

'.@NAS report release -- question -- is some kind of #climateintervention inevitable? @Marcia4Science yes to CDR; on albedo mod, "I hope not"'
