Dear James, You make good historical arguments for not being over-confident about our ability to be successful in climate intervention, but we have an unprecedented situation with the warming of the Arctic and hence the risk of global catastrophes from massive methane release and Greenland ice sheet disintegration.  Emissions reductions cannot act in time to cool the Arctic.  Even if emissions could be stopped overnight, global warming would continue for this century.  Can you suggest a means to cool the Arctic in time to prevent catastrophe becoming inevitable? Kind regards, John --- James R.
