Dear Anton et al., Excellent meeting! I'm really sorry that I missed it! I got the time wrong but just finished viewing the recording!
I was going to ask a question related to a proposal to begin to test the SAI polar approach (proposed by the "Cornell SAI group") - direct cooling of the Arctic (and Antarctic - as they both need to tackled together for symmetry - see Bala reference in the paper) based on the International Space Station model. This could be approached as a method to try to quickly slow down or reverse Arctic and Antarctic melting and restore previous conditions as much as possible - along with other possible Direct Climate Cooling and intervention approaches. My thinking is that collaboration and support by Finland, Norway, Canada, the US and Arctic indigenous peoples would be critically important. It could be framed as a "save the poles" effort but could potentially be the platform to start a serious global climate cooling effort. Suggested comments to this proposal welcome!: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1o5xQogx1kKgD-QlM4MVPdWeL2BzBtwUm/view?usp=sharing Thank you all!
