SRM, would, IF IT WORKED AS PRESENTED, be something of a silver bullet solution in the short to mid-term, with enough margin for long term solutions to be made with some time to make them.
If....it worked as advertised.
I do not believe it will, not for a second. Why? They are trying to model and predict what their models are consistently wrong about and blow by HUGE margins often enough so it ought to shame these so called 'scientists' to call the outcome science at all.
Based on these faulty models or GIGO (Garbage-In, Garbage-Out), they figure they can duplicate something on the order of the more massive volcanic eruptions for what goes into the atmosphere, and recreate what happened after events like Krakatoa ..and whatever hit the Americas for an eruption, long before Europeans and others with means to record it had arrived to witness it.
The problem I see is not the SRM being implemented....but the unintended consequences their models are missing as well as just how they reliably plan to turn "off" their effect when they would deem it complete. I even read one SRM method suggesting methane for God's sake. That is a pollutant that stays hazardous to what we're talking about for decades. So, that time frame would be the min. time we'd have to 'ride out' the consequences, good or BAD, if that particular thing were used. (More likely, Sulfur compounds and other things, I believe...but still...The range of dumb on this topic from otherwise intelligent people is staggering)
