Hi

I'm posting from iugg where mike and I appear to disagree on a point

I'm wondering what the potential effect on ocean circulation of marine cloud
brightening might be

The thermohaline circulation is driven by cold water sinking at the poles.
If that process is impeded by the cooling of water at the tropics under
clouded skies, this overturning may slow or stop.

If the flow stops, we could  end up with anoxic oceans and a potential
hydrogen sulphide contaminated atmosphere.

Even if it is merely modified, we could end up with the equivalent of DO
events.

Has this risk been appraised?
