SRM might be needed in a planetary emergency – say, if continued warming rapidly accelerates ice-sheet melting and sea-level rise, or if it accelerates methane and CO2 emissions from thawing tundra, which would then accelerate the warming itself.

That has led many observers to blame global warming for devastating floods in Pakistan, Australia, and Thailand in recent years.
But more precipitation from global warming will most likely bring the actual number down to about 1.7 billion.
Global warming will cause certain phenomena, such as heat waves and hurricane wind speeds, to become more extreme, while others, including cold waves and hurricane frequency, will become less so.
And, in some cases, such as increasing precipitation, global warming will have both positive and negative effects.
The latest IPCC report is important precisely because it illustrates the real environmental problems posed by global warming, without exaggerating them for the sake of a good headline.

But, more importantly for most of the planet’s citizens, global warming simply exacerbates existing problems – problems that we do not take seriously today.
