Poster's note : A few links for background on the wider energy landscape. I think renewables growth, and cost falls, have surprised many. This could make a real difference to if, and when, we need geoengineering. Paradoxically, it might mean sooner, as falling tropospheric pollution will mean increased radiative forcing in the short term.
