“What happens if we start solar geoengineering – and then stop?
Scientists and science fiction writers call it “termination shock.” If we began solar geoengineering, cooled the planet and then suddenly stopped. It could trigger rapid, abrupt warming with massive global consequences. Once you rely on it as a cooling solution, you’ve essentially put the Earth on life support.
But there is risk in uncontrolled warming as well. @PlanCForCivilization explores whether the risks of cooling the planet are higher than the risks of doing nothing.
