Important thoughts on #srm from @bodansk.bsky.social and @suebiniaz
As interest in solar radiation management has grown, so have calls for a global deployment moratorium.
With #DGF2025 underway in Cape Town, Susan Biniaz and @bodansk.bsky.social argue for a better path:
A bottom-up, norm-setting approach that addresses concerns w/o stalling critical research:

Why a Global “Moratorium” on Solar Radiation Management Deployment Should Get a Chilly Reception
A bottom-up norm-setting approach would rectify the concerns of agreeing to a global moratorium on solar radiation management deployment.

Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.
