I would just note that it is not really just temperature that matters--when at relatively high temperatures what matters is heat index, so that if you reduce peak temperature a bit but significantly up the humidity, this does not necessarily help on the health side. What it would be really

Atmospheric haze is AFAIK cooling. Perhaps modellers and environmental scientists on the list can comment? On 21 Jan 2018 12:37, "Brian Cartwright" wrote: To save some the time of listening to Walter’s 45-minute exposition, here is a synopsis of some main points.

To save some the time of listening to Walter’s 45-minute exposition, here is a synopsis of some main points. His overall argument is that changes in land management can create physical and hydrological conditions that have an overall cooling effect. He advocates creating a “soil carbon

Thanks to Andrew and Greg. I didn't go through paywall but my comment picks up on the mention of "land management" as a way to accomplish CDR. I'd like to suggest that land management can be seen as a way to do hydrological cooling where carbon reduction is NOT the primary metric of success.
