Speaking of circling, while this is a very interesting analysis, its results seem tautological. There are 2 main conclusions:
1. "If U.S. policymakers believe that some type of SRM technology is possible, they ought to prefer the Strong Norms policy" (p. 39). 2. "If they believe that successful SRM technology is unlikely, U.S. policymakers might prefer the Ban or No Norms option to Strong Norms" (p. 40). In other words, if the technology works, support research, if not, don't bother. But these beliefs will be based on research findings. Not sure how much this adds to the debate.
