Have a look at the last sentence:-

The only conclusions that I can come to from this, is that SSP5-8.5 represents either:

1. a climate where we have confidence in SRM, but the SRM deployment fails. This would seem to be really silly as you would expect civilisation not to press on regardless until the end of the century with confidence in SRM when temperature go up by ~4K compared to present day.
2. a climate where the temperature increase SHOULD BE offset by SRM - e.g. G6sulfur.

This would apply to all SSP5 scenarios, not just SSP5-8.5.

Interesting don't you think?
