Thank you for some common sense.  The computer models show that after the termination of solar radiation management normal conditions will return in about ten years.   Would objectors prefer a technology that could NEVER be reversed?

A failure in electricity generation is serious in 20 milliseconds. A failure in the internet in about 20 seconds, air traffic control in about two minutes water purification in about two hours and food distribution in about two days.  Should we never have developed these technologies because of their termination problems?   Ten years is a long time to fix a spray vessel.

If  people want to have bad dreams about sudden termination they should check out automated stock-market trading.

Dear all,

In light of the ongoing discussion, I just wanted to share a recent publication of mine that looks at the governance implications of the termination problem in SRM. The broader point is that the governance challenges associated with the termination problem are not particularly unusual and may even be comparable to those of other large-scale technological systems (which is, I should add, not intended to trivialize the broader difficulties and risks of SRM governance and implementation). The text is available from here:

A couple of ungated ones should still be available through this link:

All the best,
