Hi all, Good points, everyone. Alan, Ocean acidification is certainly a big issue, though, as you say, how big is a question. A couple of papers on the potential impacts of solar geoengineering on coral reefs suggest that temperature will be the most important driver of their decline - couce

It is interesting how the framing of the story affects our emotional response to it. At global scale, obviously, precipitation balances precipitation. If from the very beginning, people had focused on the prediction that solar geoengineering would tend to moisten the boundary layer and thus

Dear Pete, As you say, ocean acidification is well known, but that does not mean it is not important. Has anyone quantified the benefits of CO2 fertilization as compared to the damage from ocean acidification? We need to stop putting CO2 into the atmosphere because of the damage to the
