World's most vulnerable people need protection from huge and unintended impacts of radical geoengineering projects.

… The dangers arose in projects that cooled the planet unevenly. In some cases these caused devastating droughts across Africa; in others they increased rainfall in the region but left huge areas of Brazil parched.

"The massive complexities associated with geoengineering, and the potential for winners and losers, means that some form of global governance is essential,"

Met Office researchers have called for global oversight of the radical schemes after studies showed they could have huge and unintended impacts on some of the world's most vulnerable people.

"This paper tells us there are consequences for our actions whatever we do. There is no get-out-of-jail-free card," he told the Guardian.

WOW, talk about the blind leading the blind.

There research tells them the there are unintended consequences to there actions in there huge climate altering experiments. Yet they are willing to surrender huge amounts of power to a governing body.

Let’s see what happens if we give a small group of unelected and unaccountable people a huge amount of power over all of the people of the Earth. Eh, what could happen?

Seems like whatever happens, we need “global governance”.

They never say...this is a bad idea. Taboo topic in media for open discussion.

Bill Gates backs climate scientists lobbying for large-scale geoengineering

… A small group of leading climate scientists, financially supported by billionaires including Bill Gates, are lobbying governments and international bodies to back experiments into manipulating the climate on a global scale to avoid catastrophic climate change.

or create catastrophy, the more likely scenario. We learned this by keeping corals in fish tanks. What nature does best she should be allowed to do. Did't I hear on TED that large herds of hoofed animals are restoring deserts?

They have managed to figure out that their climate models can not predict what the consequences of climate altering experiments would be and yet they recommend an international body of “Experts” to decide which of these open ended experiments should go forward.

Yes the media will never question Global Governance by experts. They can not accept an infallible Pope in regards to religious morals but an infallible panel of experts on Global Climate is an easy swallow.

That's as far as I got.....says it all.

Yes, the fundamental goal of the watermelon coalition and all the fake junk science they try to use as justification - front and center for all to see. They don't even bother to hide it anymore.
