*Abstract*
Solar radiation modification (SRM) is a climate intervention method that
reflects a portion of incoming solar radiation to cool the Earth and could
be used to ameliorate the impacts of climate change, but that provokes
strong reactions from experts and the public alike. Research has explored
both the biophysical and human behavioral aspects of SRM but have not
integrated these processes in a single framework. Our expectations for SRM
development and deployment will be biased and inaccurate until we integrate
the feedbacks between human behavioral and cognitive processes and the
biophysical and climate system. We propose a framework for describing these
feedbacks and how they may mediate transitions in the development and
operationalization of SRM as a climate intervention. We consider components
such as public trust in SRM, moral hazard concerns, climate risk
perceptions, and societal disruptions, and illustrate how the driving
processes could change across the pre-development, post-development, and
post-deployment phases of SRM operationalization to affect outcomes around
SRM deployment and climate change. Our framework illustrates the importance
of feedbacks between climate change, risk perceptions, and the human
response and the necessity to integrate such feedbacks in the development
of future scenarios for SRM.
