It's nice to be mentioned in today's /New York Times/ review of "Under a
White Sky"
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/10/books/review-under-white-sky-elizabeth-kolbert.html
The title of Kolbert’s book comes from one possible side-effect of
“solar geoengineering” (or “solar radiation management,” in what’s
supposed to be the less scary parlance). Spraying light-reflective
particles into the atmosphere will make blue skies look white. One
climate scientist keeps a running list of concerns about geoengineering.
No. 1 is the worry that a disruption of rainfall patterns could cause
drought in Africa and Asia. No. 28 is the philosophical quandary looming
over it all: “Do humans have the right to do this?”
