Could we/should we engineer the earth's climate?
Article Abstract:
The validity and possibility of geoengineering was analyzed and debated in the 1994 annual of the meeting American Assn. for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Geoengineering is a proposed science that aims to formulate new technologies for the artificial control of global climate. The possibility of manipulating and regulating the atmosphere will help prevent global warming. The possible impact of geoengineering and the different ways of controlling the global climate were discussed at the AAAS meeting.

Long-term climate monitoring by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS)
Article Abstract:
A three-day workshop was held in Asheville, NC, to define the requirements needed to address the basic questions on the role of the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) in long-term climate monitoring. A total of 94 participants from various user communities focused on developing solutions to the challenges facing GCOS, such as problems in ensuring the consistency of observations, introducing improvements to the system and financing. The general recommendations from the workshop are presented.

Toward a scientific centered climate monitoring system
Article Abstract:
A more scientific approach for monitoring global climatic changes is needed to ensure the consistency and accuracy of climate data. The development of this approach would require the increased partnership between the observational programs within various user communities and the theory/modeling community to yield maximum information. It would also require the development of mechanisms for evaluating existing monitoring frameworks.
