"Termination shock" is a new term for me. Can anyone explain what this is?

I had a bit of time and looked it up. Essentially, I guess this refers to what happens after you stop doing whatever it is you're doing to reduce solar radiation. It's a whiplash type of effect that some think could cause more damage than if we left the system alone. Here's a couple of links:

Who's going to pay for all this?  Conversion to clean energy is cheaper.

Yeah. Seems much more prudent to actually address the problem... instead of putting a "band-aid" on the issue which would only serve to secondarily encourage continuation of pollution.

- I was being stupid and fell off a cliff.

- Oh, here's a brace.

- Great! Now I can be stupid again.

Seems like a quick fix to a problem that needs more attention, theres other things we could be doing to reduce our greenhouse imput instead of salting the upper atmosphere.

Maybe if we sprinkle enough salt on the earth some hungry alien will notice us. Worth a shot.

With all the problems that we have because of aquifer turning salty... putting more salt everywhere will help a lot...
