Meanwhile, a poll released this week by the Brookings Institution suggests that Americans are concerned about the safety and effectiveness of geoengineering. Sixty-five percent of participants said they somewhat or strongly disagree that if global warming takes place, scientists would be able to find ways to alter the climate in a way that limits problems. A slimmer majority, 45 percent, disagreed with the notion that scientists could develop atmospheric engineering methods to cool the planet. But most of the 887 participants in the survey -- 69 percent -- said they strongly or somewhat believed the harm from adding material to the atmosphere would outweigh the benefits. The poll carries a margin of error of 3.5 percent.
