Thank you @ClimateBook for this wonderfully written article on why geoengineering ourselves out of the climate crisis is not an option, 'There is no Plan B' doi.org/10.1080/00963402.201…

How do planets receive their inventory of sulfur? Our new paper led by @kamatahvel takes a look at this arxiv.org/abs/1908.05169 @EarthSciCam @cambridge_astro
