Dear Friends and Colleagues

Climate discourse today is rife with fears that critical thresholds and tipping 
points can no longer be defended, and in part as a result, media attention to 
high-risk interventions such as stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) has 
ballooned. A critical thread of the current discourse has been brewing for some 
time: the argument that while SAI is risky, we (the usual hypothetical global 
‘we’, that is) must somehow judge its risks against the otherwise unavoidable 
risks of climate change.

>From one perspective, this appears a common sense position. From another, it 
>is an active effort to frame the debate in ways that admit only one conclusion

In this new paper in the European Journal of Risk Regulation, I discuss the 
risk-risk framing, and how one might undertake meaningful and ethical risk-risk 
assessment of climate interventions. I hope it will be of interest to others in 
this group.
