Hi All

Andy Parker's concerns about international disputes over geoengineering might be reduced if only there was a technique which allowed a greater degree of local control and the chance of tactical adjustments based on day-to-day observations. It is the prospect of being stuck with an unwanted outcome for the next two years which must be alarming.

I disagree fundamentally with the premise of this article.

A decision on climate has to be made. Everyone knows it. Everyone has an incentive to avoid chaos. Therefore, people have a very large incentive to stick to a consensus process, because anyone who doesn't stick will instantly break that consensus and cause chaos - which is a guaranteed loser for all.

Same reason villagers don't burgle their neighbours when police are busy elsewhere dealing with a major incident.
