Forest Fire Mimicking Stratospheric Aerosol Lofting

[Ron Baiman]

Colleagues,

I'm a (radical or progressive) economist, not a climate scientist, and this paper may have already been posted on the list (I found out about it through Andrew Lockley's excellent podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8zMjkzZDIzMC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw/episode/MjAyYTU2Y2QtOTZlMC00ZWM1LWI3NzctZjgzMzY3Yjc5Y2M3?sa=X&ved=0CA8QkfYCahcKEwiY0OfxmcrxAhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAQ&hl=en), but as it appears to be an important breakthrough in SAI (a key geoengineering proposal) I thought it would be worth posting again.

I've skimmed through (the less technical) parts of the paper and (and these parts anyway) appear well written and easy to understand for the non-specialist!

This appears to me to potentially be a major breakthrough in an important (perhaps the most important) proposed geoengineering method. 

Best,

Ron

The future can be hopeful, but we must move at lightning speed to make it so!
