I think the most important implication of all findings of anticipated changes in precipitation as a result of SRM -- of whatever degree or direction -- is that they dramatically raise the bar for the level of confidence (and therefore, amount of research) that would be needed to achieve wide consen

Of course, one should point out that (i) global average precipitation increased with CO2, and decreases with solar reduction, and is only over-compensated if one tried to bring global mean temperature all the way back to preindustrial, which is a choice, not a given (and an unlikely one at that)

Hi folks, I find Ken's statement of "*The only thing a politician can do to start the planet cooling is solar geoengineering*." is un-supportable, on the face of it, as there are a multitude of 'planet cooling' means and methods available. And, the statement ignores roughly every thing that th
