    Important issue as oceans constitute more than 2/3 of our planet.
    Do we have good models of prediction to assist decison-makers in their planning of oceans management and governance?



  • how far are we from climate science to climate engineering?

    The ultimate goal of climate science in my opinion is to be able to find engineering means to turn climate change into favorable directions. have we found the best way? when would we be able to collectively engineer climate change?
