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:
