Introduction
  • Climate science
  • Many have concluded catastrophe is on us
  • Greenhouse gases deemed the cause
  • Policy assumes we must manage them
  • Climate science questioned - sometimes
  • Can we question management methodology?
  • Yes! We will!

Conclusions
  • Greenhouse gas management sometimes complex
  • Some proposed strategies are ineffective
  • Others are just incomprehensible
  • Others seem counter to discourage reductions
  • Careful thought needed to achieve the end goal
  • Management of atmospheric greenhouse gas
