Nice article by Ted Parson, with which I completely agree, except for this:
"Research suggests it [solar geoengineering (SG)] can work, with
harmful side effects that are well understood and small relative
to the climate harms it would avoid;"
Research does not suggest that the
harmful effects are well understood and small. That is why we do
research and are still trying to quantify the risks of
implementation of SG vs. the risks of not doing it.
See many of you in Cape Town.
