Andrew I must object to your claim that the rapid control of marine cloud brightening is risky. Control engineers will tell you that they like systems with a single, dominant phase lag. You are right in saying that the effects of marine cloud brightening fade quickly but the world's

Would some kind person tell me if I got these claims wrong? Marine Cloud Brightening and Stratospheric Aerosol SRM are *not* equivalently risky. While both have the possibility of termination shock and regional variation, these two risks are lower in MCB. I’m worried that the discussion on
