Abstract
“The conclusions one can draw as to whether man's energy releases will produce tolerable thermal effects on the earth and its climate must be tentative, since much more study and measurement are needed. The indications seem promising, however, that global upsets in weather and temperature are very unlikely if we are able to distribute the energy released over wide areas of the land or into the sea.” Alvin M. Weinberg is director of Oak Ridge National Laboratory and R. Philip Hammond is director of the Nuclear Desalination Program at Oak Ridge. This paper was presented at the Fourth U.N. International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy, held at Geneva, Switzerland in September 1971.
