Hello Chris et al. I think this is a very interesting paper.
With respect to Marine Cloud Brightening (MCB), outlined therein, I would like to add a couple of points:- If MCB is found to function as assumed in our modeling studies – which remains to be determined – it could possibly:- (1) inhibit or prohibit further coral reef damage by cooling ocean surface waters in selected areas – as with the hurricane weakening possibility mentioned in the article. (2) maintain sea-ice cover at around current values, at least up to the CO2-doubling point. Best Wishes, John [email protected] Papers relevant to the above points are listed below:- Philip J Rasch, John Latham & Chih-Chieh (Jack) Chen, Geoengineering by cloud seeding: influence on sea ice and climate system.
