When the Royal Society do a report on something, they do it properly. Their latest, 'Geoengineering the climate: Science Governance and Uncertainty' - is the product of a year's worth of work by some of the most prestigious scientists in the world.

And we should be grateful that they took the time, because based on a cursory glance, it looks like they've produced a thoughtful and detailed summary of proposals for so-called 'geoengineering' - or trying to deliberately manipulate the planet's climate.
