Hi Folks, This level of discussion on SAI seems to be premature. We have yet to see any...any...models concerning the highly predictable increase in Polar Stratospheric Cloud (PSC) production which will be caused by SAI. This is not a trivial precondition to further discussion. As, the triggering of an Arctic Methane Tipping Point, through increasing PSC production, would make SAI simply a dysfunctional option.
Please read the following paper concerning the vital need to....not...increase PSCs through SAI. Polar Stratospheric Clouds: A high latitude warning mechanism in an ancient greenhouse world. <ftp://ftp.tudelft.nl/pub/TUDelft/irctr-rse/Mieke/Papers/SloanPollard98-PSCforHighLatPTMwarmArctic.pdf> Best, Michael On Friday, January 30, 2015 at 12:54:21 AM UTC-8, Andy Parker wrote: > > Hey folks, the Washington Post just published an op ed on the messy > politics of solar geoengineering, written by David Keith and me: > http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/whats-the-right-temperature-for-the-earth/2015/01/29/b2dda53a-7c05-11e4-84d4-7c896b90abdc_story.html > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
