I’m slowly sidling into the albedo alteration camp

In general, despite being an engineer myself, I don't trust engineers to think about this stuff correctly. They have a tendency to latch on to one Grand Unified Theory and One Total Solution. Works for say boat engines, but not for complex overdetermined systems.

Agree. Got interested in weather when I learned how to sail in 2006, that book was probably recommended to me by a crewmate (don't remember how I acquired it). Also while not a climate change denier, I do think the mechanisms are complex, I'm generally irritated by pop discourse.

Yeah but the nice thing about a book is that they attempt to unify a bunch of disparate things. I still like reading books for background but agree that articles/interviews essential for better/up to date info. If you get good book rec lmk. :)

It's more than that. For complex systems, it is a mistake I think to consider articles/papers as "staying up to date" in the sense of adding diffs and updates to an established foundation that's secure. Books create a false sense of security that the foundation is established
