Nathan, thanks for your excellent article. Reading it against discussion of the misconceived arguments about "moral hazard" of geoengineering is useful. The Arctic is an alarm bell for the global climate. Allowing ice melt without urgent response presents massive risk of dangerous feedback loops with potentially catastrophic impact. Rather than allowing any complacency about CO2e increase, agreement to implement Arctic SRM could shock the world into a recognition that CO2 emissions are pushing us into a real global security emergency. SRM might be compared to an emergency tourniquet applied to a bleeding limb. A tourniquet helps to minimise the trauma of massive injury by slowing blood loss, while in no way replacing curative measures. SRM can provide breathing space to stabilise climate, while developing the slower responses of carbon dioxide removal through design and deployment of global technological systems. SRM without CDR is like a tourniquet without antibiotics. Robert Tulip
