Thanks for sharing, Herb! I haven't read the paper, but from a skim, it looks like maybe some sanity is emerging among climate modelers on this issue. Enough with "shaving the peak", it seems to me that we're going to need cooling (including probably OTEC type generating energy from and cooling ocean heat) for a very long time, even with robust GHG emissions and drawdown, and nature regeneration programs!
