Innovation and its consequences.
- What Role for Geoengineering? Samuel Thernstrom 03/02/2010
- Any effective climate strategy will have to rely upon a combination of emissions reductions, adaptation, and, if circumstances warrant (as appears likely), some degree of geoengineering.

- Supreme Climate Folly James V. DeLong 12/18/2009
