I've been reflecting on the values and motivations that underpin my work on Solar Radiation Modification (SRM) thanks to some recent interviews, and I think the SRM community shares many of these.
You seem not to realize that are actually emission cuts that will cause a great deal of suffering (potentially more than climate change itself!). It's therefore clear that SRM efforts should be a substitute for emission cuts, not a complement. That's because you want to make rational choices, i.e. the ones that cause the least amount of suffering, and to let people enjoy the best of what technological progress has to offer.
