Hi All
The computer climate models predict a fairly steady return to the
trajectory of what would otherwise have happened over a period of ten years.
Would people who are worried about the 'termination shock' prefer
irreversible solutions? Several irreversibilities are the likely result
of tipping points following a 'Do nothing, not even research' policy.

ABSTRACT
Solar radiation management (SRM) – a form of geoengineering – creates
a risk of ‘termination shock’. If SRM was to be stopped abruptly then
temperatures could rise very rapidly with catastrophic impacts. Two
prominent geoengineering researchers have recently argued that the
risk of termination shock could be minimised through the adoption of
‘relatively simple’ policies. This paper shows their arguments to be
premised on heroically optimistic assumptions about the prospects for
global cooperation and sustained trust in an SRM deployment scenario.
The paper argues that worst-case scenarios are the right place to
start in thinking about the governance of SRM.
