Dear Colleagues, In lieu of the recent research suggesting that we may be in for a warming plateau of at least 50 years after net-zero due to the roughly offsetting effects of continued ocean uptake of GHG and release of latent heat accumulated in the ocean over many decades of warming (see: https://www.carbonbrief.org/explainer-will-global-warming-stop-as-soon-as-net-zero-emissions-are-reached/) does anyone know of modeling research on the potential need for "bottom up" direct cooling at the point where the "warming from below" from the ocean is greater than "the warming from above" from the sun? I'm thinking of techniques such as OTEC and WOHC (to harvest energy from and cool the oceans) as well as CCT (to "open up" the clouds so as to release more heat that has already been accumulated)?
