Wired reports the simulation showed participants prioritizing national self-interest and paranoia over scientific reasoning, suggesting an uncontrolled global race for solar geoengineering deployment despite known risks including drought in sub-Saharan Africa and intensified Atlantic storms.
“It's not 15 years from now; it's in the next decade, easily.”
