Hi Dan
The central point is not whether IPCC ARs 1-6 have discussed the
current state of the albedo enhancement (AE/SRM) literature but
rather that they have failed to address the emerging (some would say
long since emerged) evidence indicating that a LWR only policy will
not deliver the UNFCCC's 'ultimate objective' of preventing dangerous
human intervention in the climate. This evidence is well presented,
for example, in Jim Hansen et al's recent /Warming in the Pipeline. /
The AR6 treatment is not a risk/risk review - it considers the risks
and uncertainties surrounding the prospective implementation of AE,
but not the risks and uncertainties of not implementing AE and
sticking with a LWR-only policy regime.
For the avoidance of doubt, and because the CDR Google group is
included in this distribution, I stress that AE is not an alternative
to a LWR focussed policy regime but absolutely in addition to it.
Reduction of atmospheric CO2e is essential for the medium to
long-term stabilisation of the climate but a SWR cooling package is
essential in the short-term to create the environmental context for
the effective delivery of the LWR cooling to work. This is both/and,
not either/or.
Our problem is that AE is playing catch up because it has been
assumed to be unnecessary and/or too risky, and the reliance placed
on CO2e reduction has not been matched by timely and effective
action. Restoring balance will, in the short term, inevitably
increase attention on AE.

I do not know where you find this "current IPCC consensus that
sees no role for albedo enhancement in climate policy."
There is discussion about the state of knowledge re albedo
questions in the 6th Assessment Report,
including with respect to SRM so that, for instance, in the AR6
WGIII report, at p. 340:
"In the context of mitigation pathways, only a few studies have
examined solar radiation modification (SRM), typically focusing on
Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (Arinoa et al. 2016; Emmerling and
Tavoni 2018a,b; Heutel et al. 2018; Helwegen et al. 2019; Rickels
et al. 2020; Belaia et al. 2021). These studies find that substantial
mitigation is required to limit warming to a given level, even if SRM
is available (Moreno-Cruz and Smulders 2017; Emmerling and Tavoni
2018b; Belaia et al. 2021). SRM may reduce some climate impacts,
reduce peak temperatures, lower mitigation costs, and extend the
time available to achieve mitigation; however, SRM does not address
ocean acidification and may involve risks to crop yields, economies,
human health, or ecosystems (AR6 WGII Chapter 16; AR6 WGI TS and
Chapter 5; SR1.5 SPM; and Cross-Working Group Box 4 in Chapter 14
of this report). There are also significant uncertainties surrounding
SRM, including uncertainties on the costs and risks, which can
substantially alter the amount of SRM used in modelled pathways
(Tavoni et al. 2017; Heutel et al. 2018; IPCC 2018; Helwegen
et al. 2019; NASEM 2021). Furthermore, the degree of international
cooperation can influence the amount of SRM deployed in scenarios,
with uncoordinated action resulting in larger SRM deployment and
consequently larger risks/impacts from SRM (Emmerling and Tavoni
2018a). Bridging research and governance involves consideration
of the full range of societal choices and ramifications (Sugiyama
et al. 2018). More information on SRM, including the caveats, risks,
uncertainties, and governance issues is found in AR6 WGI Chapter 4;
AR6 WGIII Chapter 14; and Cross-Working Group Box 4 in Chapter 14
of this report."
And that Cross-Working Group Box 4 in Chapter 14 of the WGIII
report goes on for 5 pages discussing
SRM schemes, use in mitigation scenarios, risks and risk
reduction, ethics, and governance.
[Box contained with/in SRM discussion at 1488-1494.]
The IPCC's treatment of SRM methods and governance issues seems
to me to be steady and cautious,
but no more so than its treatment of CDR methods and governance.

Thanks Greg.
The relevance of the net zero heating model to CDR is about
policy. IPCC wrongly assumes that action to remove carbon
warming forcing could be enough to stabilise the climate.
The exclusion of albedo measures from serious COP discussion
has created a false over-estimation of the potential
contribution of CDR and emission reduction to the overall
climate priority agenda. Efforts into CDR are misplaced
where they support the current IPCC consensus that sees no
role for albedo enhancement in climate policy. The fact that
even massive CDR cannot be enough to prevent dangerous
tipping points ought to be a primary concern for CDR
advocates. The current policy goal of net zero emissions
lacks a critical engineering path in view of the swamping
problem of accelerating feedbacks. So my call to the CDR
community is to join in challenging the IPCC consensus that
action on carbon is the only climate priority, and instead
help to develop an integrated policy that recognises the
immediate need for direct climate cooling. Reversing
acidification is essential, but it can’t be used as an excuse
to avoid the need for a policy that integrates action on
carbon with action to brighten the planet.

Robert,
Are you then suggesting that efforts into CDR are misplaced?
True, CDR isn't going to singlehandedly solve the climate
problem, but it and emissions reduction are the only things
we've got to hasten the solution to excess CO2. This includes
ending ocean acidification that SRM presumably can't touch. I
can't speak for the entire CDR list, but many of us do
support SRM research, a theme ably covered by the other lists
you posted to but not the CDR list.

The policy context for carbon dioxide removal includes
its effect on radiative forcing. RF management is
critical to the goal of a stable and liveable climate.
CDR can only have climate effect when integrated into a
program of albedo enhancement to cut radiative forcing.
The need to focus on RF is unpalatable for CDR advocates
who prefer to ignore the problems of global warming. And
yet it seems inescapable that failure to enhance albedo
will trigger tipping points that will swamp potential
climate benefits of CDR.
A ten foot levee is no good against a twenty foot flood.
But that is the result of a climate policy fixated on
carbon rather than albedo.

With all due respect Michael Hayes, your failure to
see the relevance to CDR ignores the global warming
context of CDR.
The thread quantifies the planetary heating and
cooling balance based on published research
documenting factors to date. It shows the total
contribution needed from carbon dioxide removal and
other greenhouse gas removal as well as cooling
factors to achieve net zero heating. It also
explains prioritisation, showing that CDR has to
operate over a slower time frame than albedo
enhancement. I expect that is what you object to, but
it is a simple scientific observation.
To quantify Net Zero Heating is directly relevant to
CDR by placing CDR within the context of total
radiative forcing. That is why I posted it to the
CDR Group.
Are you a moderator at the CDR Group? If not, can I
suggest you leave list moderation to the moderators?

Stabilising the climate requires equality of

Here is a simple model of how climate stability
could be achieved over coming decades and
centuries using albedo enhancement and greenhouse
gas removal.
Stratospheric Aerosol Injection, Marine Cloud
Brightening and other cooling methods can balance
CO2 and CH4 and other warming factors.
The left half of the diagram is from /An
Imperative To Monitor Earth’s Energy Imbalance/,
published in 2016 in Nature Climate Change.
The right half extrapolates radiative forcing to
achieve and sustain net zero heating from 2060.
The bands are roughly drawn.
It is possible that the main cooling work shown
as SAI could be partly replaced by other methods.
