To assess different approaches to the problem

Formulate recommendations

Loss of life

Affects those worst off already (Third World)

Causes

Subtopic

Why are we focusing on CO2 and not, say, other gases or causes?

Need Argument

Geoengineering

Attention needed ~now~, action in timescales of.. Decades?

Takes time to implement

Motivation

Fix problems

Technical Review

All

Cost to do at useful scales

Carbon Sequestration

Artifical carbon capture

Geological carbon storage

Albedo Modification

Sulphur rockets

Weather Modification & Arid Landscape management

General Observations and conclusions

Education

Pressing Need for geoengineering

What will happen without it

Recommendations

Solid, certain ideas wherever possible (Despite uncertainty in the problem)

Tradeoff between different techniques

Most Useful techinques, what it will cost.. need to increase EPA's budget by what factor?

Percentage GDP this represents
