Chapter 8:
1. What
is SRM?
2. In
2006, who won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for his breakthrough research on the
deterioration of the ozone layer?
3. During
the retreat held at Chichley Hall, the organizers separated the group into
breakout sessions. Everyone received a piece of paper with a triangle on it,
each point had a different word. What were the words?
4.
At the breakout session, one participant
refused to place his views on the triangle (Bully for him!). Instead he wrote
three questions on poster paper that he felt needed to be discussed first. What
were they?
5.
The Royal Society was founded in 1660 as an homage to Sir
Francis Bacon. What is the organization’s motto and how did it relate to the
climate change retreat?
6.
David Keith once said of the threat of weakened monsoons from
SRM that “hydrological stresses” can be managed “a little bit by irrigation.”
The ancients called this hubris. What did the great American philosopher,
farmer, and poet Wendell Berry call it?
7.
According to Martin Bunzl, a Rutgers philosopher and climate
change expert (go philosophers!) what facts present an enormous perhaps
insurmountable ethical problem for geoengineering?
8.
What were the three volcanic eruptions within the last three
hundred years that had a significant impact on the global climate?
9.
Experts estimate that the global death toll from Iceland’s Laki
eruption ranged from what to what and why is this even more significant than it would be today?
