As part of the RESILIENCER Project, we are looking at low probability high impact events and their relation to SRM. One important worry in this regards becomes termination shock, most importantly what Baum (2013) calls a "Double Catastrophe" where a global societal collapse caused by one catastrophe then causes termination shock, another catastrophe, which may convert the civilisational collapse into a risk of extinction.
One such initial catastrophe may be nuclear war. Thus, the combination of SRM and nuclear war may be a significant worry. As such, I am posing the question to the google group: what would happen if SRM (either stratospheric or tropospheric- or space based if you want to go there) was terminated due to a nuclear war? What sort of effects would you expect to see? Would the combination worsen the effects of nuclear war or help ameliorate them? How would this differ between SRM types? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
