The unknown unknowns are real but the way that the article focuses on the part where this approach is bad because it gives people that the author doesn't like power and prestige is pretty funny. The author would rather watch things keep getting worse while waiting for a perfect solution that he knows will never come than he is to let billionaires do something that might make people think they're the good guys.
IMO we should raise sulfur dioxide levels back to where they were before the counterproductive regulations on ship emissions reduced them. We already know that that helped mitigate warming without causing catastrophe.

There aren't a ton of things I can say I'm an expert on, but SAI is. I've done a whole research project on it (can't get into specifics). This is absolutely a bad idea, I don't care who is doing it.
Also I can see you have no idea what you're talking about, because SOx and NOx are pollutants that cause acid rain among other things and damage entire ecosystems. Ya know, the thing that all of life lives in.

NO. I've personally investigated this for one of my projects, and it's a terrible idea. Things like MCB would be better, but SAI is absolutely going to wreak havoc on the entire world, and is only a cover-up for fossil fuel companies to continue to use coal and oil. We need to attack the root of the problem, not just put some duct tape over top, which will end up suffocating the whole world.
Anyone reading, look up Termination Shock (it's a cool book too).
