@MJmusicinears personally, I don‘t think solar radiation management (in its various forms) will ever be tried in earnest. But how the very idea of dimming the sun fares in the court of public opinion may be a good indicator for the level of hope or desperation we have concerning out ability to get the climate crisis under control.
@rahmstorf impressive! So which of the models performed best in hindsight? Or were they all significantly off and only the average ended up being close to what really happened?
Prof. Stefan RahmstorfHow the climate models of 20 years ago performed for global temperature.
Black line is the model average; as it is an average it is smoother than the actual data, which include more of the random variability which is superimposed on the warming forced by greenhouse gas emissions.

It's like saying that I have really great ideas for paintings but I'm just going to use a brush but no paint. So my ideas will be represented by the gestures that I make over the paper."
The ideology of techno-fixing at its most absurd: 'De-Extinction' of species.
@shawnmccool As Einstein famously said "The greatest scientists are artists as well." This cosmic spirograph makes you wonder whether those proposing it were just falling for its mandala-like beauty.
