    It surely won’t cost us any valuable time to prevent suffering if we let excuses fly for sea salt spray.

      Yeah, the idea is to say “we could lower the temperature by tossing maybe-toxic particles in the air” as a means of creating social permission to continue extracting and burning fossil fuels. It’s kind of a mess though, because it might be the least-bad option if we fail to pull off a phase-out of fossil fuels.
