hi great news, but WWF have supported active mitigation - eg 'sucking co2 out of the air' for years. do build on this new statement, and use is as an opportunity to emphasise that geo-eng includes tools/methodologies which are no regret options and include added co-benefits. also, that repair

Hi Stephen‹I would think that Chinese sulfate (like tropospheric sulfate from virtually anywhere) would contribute to cloud and free air brightening, so a cooling influence (especially when that sulfate is above the dark Pacific Ocean). Now, in that coal plants put out more than pure SO2, there mig
