A special report from the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) calls on the U.S. to take major, urgent measures to increase research on solar geoengineering and sunlight reflection as a part of the answer to global warming.
Prepared by Stewart Patrick and released at the
end of April 2022, the CFR report evaluates the existing approaches of
emissions reductions and carbon removal. It finds them insufficient for
preventing enormous warming risks, and likely to remain greatly insufficient
for scientific and practical reasons that would be objectively very difficult
to overcome. It concludes that sunlight reflection will probably be an
indispensable component in preventing dangerous levels of global warming, and
that research and preparations for this need to be greatly accelerated.
The CFR report recommends both greatly
accelerated research and testing, and diplomatic and international governance
preparations for carrying out sunlight reflection with global support and
coordination.

Zelensky called today for an emergency global union to provide real security, by abolishing the veto in the UN Security Council.
What he is calling for is the central purpose of CW/PS. We are doing all we can to support his call for action here and now, in time to save the UN's purpose and Ukraine with it.
