      FWIW headlines like this are targeted at people who don’t believe in climate change but do worry about the economy. In other words: exactly the people who need to see more and think more about this topic.

      You are clearly already informed. No need to disparage this kind of communication - every argument we can make helps.

    At some point one of the big countries that’s being negatively by this is going to say “screw it, let’s try solar geoengineering.” The cost is actually pretty small on this scale.

    Sure would be nice if there was a bunch of research to draw on when that time comes, instead of just flailing away.
