"Some of the proposed methods are: Marine Cloud Brightening (MCB), Mirrors for Earth’s Energy Rebalancing, Wind driven sea water pumps, Surface Albedo Modification (formerly Floating Sand), Iron Salt Aerosol, Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI), Floating Sand, and Cirrus Cloud Thinning (CCN), see Baiman 2021, p. 615-616). Mirrors for Earth’s Energy Rebalancing (MEER) would offer local and regional cooling solutions based on deployment of arrays of mirrors on the earth’s surface[1], and wind driven sea water pumps could increase Arctic winter ice formation, slowing summer ice melt and methane release (Desch et 2017)."

Yes, believing CDR is a moral hazard is a moral hazard that will result in mass death.The idea of CDR being a moral hazard is rooted in the idea that we will not take climate action seriously and we will politely ask fossil fuel companies to please reduce their emissions, if it’s not too much of a bother.Of course, we could put a price on carbon and use clean energy standards to force the phase out of fossil fuels. We could then also implement CDR with no risk of “moral hazard”.See my Global Climate Action Plan for a set of policies that reduce emissions *and* removes CO2 from the atmosphere.Of course, so far, we are not taking climate action seriously… and that is a moral hazard!Dan--

Andrews, et al., Anticipating moral hazard undermines climate mitigation in an experimental geoengineering game, 196 Ecological Economics, June 2021Abstract
Geoengineering is sometimes touted as a partial solution to climate change but will only be successful in conjunction with other mitigation strategies. This creates a potential for a “moral hazard”: If people think geoengineering alone will mitigate climate change, they may become overly optimistic and reduce support for other necessary mitigation efforts. We test this in a series of economic games where players in groups must prevent a simulated climate disaster. One player, the “policymaker,” decides whether to implement geoengineering. The rest are “citizens” who decide how much to contribute to incremental mitigation efforts. We find that citizens contribute to mitigation even when the policymaker uses geoengineering. Despite this, policymakers expect that citizens will engage in moral hazard. As a consequence, policymakers do not use geoengineering even though everyone would be better off if they did so. Anticipating moral hazard undermines mitigation even though moral hazard itself does not.
