Science and engineering research can answer important questions.
Scientists tend now to see geo-engineering research as a form of insurance policy against the effects of continued global warning, not as an excuse for downplaying the problem, nor for tolerating more carbon emissions in the meantime.
The three-member taskforce comprised Dr Harry Atkinson, formerly of the Science and Engineering Research Council and past chairman of the European Space Agency's Council, with Sir Crispin Tickell, Britain's former ambassador to the UN and Professor David Williams, from University College, London.
"Investments in geo-engineering research are almost certainly the biggest bang for the buck that one could get in terms of addressing catastrophic climate change - a much, much bigger return than, for example, trying to control carbon emissions at the moment, " he says.
The Center efforts are focused within the Pediatric Engineering Research Laboratory (PERL) which includes the WREX (Wilmington Robotic Exoskeleton) that allows children with weakness to move their arms in three-dimensional space in front of them, and the Cricket, a brace compliance sensor.
