Greg, You may want to look at some of the material we have put together over the last few years at C2G<http://www.c2g2.net/>, very much for the kind of audience you are talking about. On our website<http://www.c2g2.net/> in general, and more specifically in the section on SRM<https://www.c2g2.net/solar-radiation-modification/>, the reader can find a series of infographics, policy briefs (2-3 pages for policy people) and evidence briefs (20-40 pages) for those who want the details. And then we also produced video recordings, including a series of webinars under C2GLearn<https://www.c2g2.net/c2glearn/>; relevant interviews under C2GTalk<https://www.c2g2.net/c2gtalk/>; and more…
We have also written articles for the general public, including the latest opinion piece published by Le Monde<https://www.lemonde.fr/idees/article/2023/07/21/que-l-on-soit-pour-ou-contre-la-geo-ingenierie-solaire-doit-etre-encadree-par-des-regles-de-gouvernance_6182951_3232.html#xtor=AL-32280270-%5Bmail%5D-%5Bios%5D> on the 21st of July: “Whether one is for or against SRM – it needs governance” (in French), or our article in Foreign Policy<https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/05/23/solar-geoengineering-radiation-modification-srm-regulation-climate-change/> (23 May) on why governance is needed for solar radiation modification. And I need to add, we produced the above very much following C2G’s mission to be impartial about the use or not of SRM.

I appreciate it. I think this may indeed be very useful at one of the levels I mentioned. Just a little more explanation about my background and what motivated my 'request'. I have been following the various geoengineering technologies, fairly seriously, for about a decade now, and have a fair degree of familiarity with them. My focus has been on SAI as it is addresses the global nature of, well, 'global' warming. I am in favor of vastly more funding of all approaches, and I am very much in favor of immediate initial testing of all methods. I am trained in physics and spent my career working in the field of solar coronal physics. I can generally make it through technical, refereed papers in fields of physics, etc. I have been reading journal papers in this area to try to keep up. I recently had a conversation with two intelligent, educated 'laypersons' and was aghast to find that neither had ever even heard of the techniques of SRM, and in particular SAI - and not just the obscure acronyms. In 'my world', everybody knows about SAI, if only from all the bad popular press it still gets (unfortunately their familiarity, even among the physicists, is usually superficial, biased, and not deep). But here were two educated people who'd never even heard popular reporting on it. And I think they may be 'typical' of a lot of people. This is what motivated me to reach out to the geoengineering community for introductory overview material by experts. I promised to provide them with 'overview material' on SAI. So I appreciate in particular, any suggestions at the level of these two outsiders. On a slightly grander scale, it made me interested in locating material for educating the 'public', including other scientists, about SAI and other geoengineering methods at the three different levels I mentioned. It really is amazing how insular our own worlds can be without our realizing it. Sorry for all the words, but trying to give the context and aim of my request. Thanks much for the reply and link.
