The Lead
'Solar Radiation Management' (SRM)—injecting aerosols into the stratosphere to mimic a volcanic eruption—is the cheapest way to cool the Earth. It is also the most dangerous.

We explore the birth of 'Planetary-Scale Insurance' and why geo-engineering is the ultimate tail-risk for the global financial system.
