Climate Safety : We need proper engineering, not mere tinkering

The NASA Climate Scientist James Hansen and an international team of researchers have very recently completed a paper for the Open Atmospheric Science Journal, concerning an in-depth analysis of Climate history at the Earth's Polar regions, relating it to today's warming conditions.

Published on 7th November 2008, the peer-reviewed research paper shows, by careful calculations on proxy data for the very distant past, that we should expect high Climate Sensitivity, the warming signal of the Earth in response to Greenhouse Gas accumulation above ground.

Copenhagen 2009

Is going to the Copenhagen Summit in December 2009 going to help to build a mass movement that takes non-violent direct action on climate change in the United Kingdom?
Leaving aside the tricky question of “is disrupting the negotiations a good idea”? (In order to achieve what?) there are other tricky questions that need to be asked:

What are the dangers of spending so much time and energy organising for a summit?

What would short-term success at the summit look like?

And what would it cost?

What projects won't go forward?
