Dear Stephen, Since you persist, I have to request that in the future you please speak for yourself, not as a spokesman for any ersatz geoengineering community. Please note that I am not asking to be added to your list of exceptions, but *I am asking you refrain from such generalizations.*

You are not speaking for me. And you need to ask everyone else working in this field, before you claim to speak for them. I personally fear that geoengineering will be used before all the potential effects are studied. This is quite different from fearing that it will be needed, because that implies that we know that it will be the only response society can take.
