Local cooling, SAI, & CDR - Baiman

Reviewer 2 reluctantly agrees to dish out another drubbing to "radical" economist Ron Baiman. @geoengineering1 discusses Ron's new paper on balancing short-term cooling - both local and global - with long-term CDR. Also, check out Ron's popular episode from last year on the Green New Deal.
