ROSHYDROMET Hosts "Problems of Adaptation to Climate Change" (November 7-9, 2011)

Correction: The conference RACC 2011 is not hosted by the Russian Academy of Sciences, although they participate. The main organizer is the ROSHYDROMET, the Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring.


On November 7-9, 2011, ROSHYDROMET will be hosting an international conference titled "Problems of Adaptation to Climate Change."


According to the (Russian language/English language) program, Alan Robock, a Rutgers expert on nuclear winter, will be presenting a paper titled "Smoke and Mirrors: Is Geoengineering the Solution for Global Warming?" Dr. Robock has a Geoengineering power point (revised April 16, 2011) with the same title on his site that will probably be similar to his presentation before the RASS 2011 Conference.


No word on whether loopy FBI conspiracists armed with poorly-documented white papers will suddenly descend on Red Square and embarrass the American Government and climate scientists by peddling the moonshine promoted in the book Comrade J: nuclear winter is a KGB hoax.


If the Russians think that nuclear winter is a KGB hoax, as the FBI white paper's cited source Comrade J alleges, then why do the leaders of this Russian conference on climate change seem to be considering geoengineering ("climate stabilization using new technologies") to cool the planet? The Russians are considering putting aerosols in the atmosphere in order to reflect the sun. Evidently, the Russians are considering creating a "controlled" nuclear winter.


The Russian conference discusses adapting to and mitigating the problem of global warming, but they also anticipate that global warming will bring some benefits. They mention limiting emissions of greenhouse gasses, but they don't say people should replace fossil-fuels with renewable sources of energy.  See the short-sighted "vision" of the conference.
