The problem is a mix between melting ice from Greenland, other glaciers
and the Antarctic and a larger from effect the thermal expansion of the
world's oceans. This is amazingly complicated because the thermal
expansion coefficient depends on salinity and pressure. My estimate is
that the thermal expansion problem is 20 times the ice. The energy
removal needed is about 30 times total world energy consumption and 500
times US electrical generation capacity.
I can send calculations, based on Schwartz and Slingo, on the number of
spray vessels needed to hold the fort to anyone who asks.

What's the current understanding of the interplay between SRM and sea
level rise? I don't think the subject has been comprehensively studied
