Climate intervention on a high-emissions pathway could delay but not prevent West Antarctic Ice Sheet demise

The West Antarctic Ice Sheet is expected to collapse with warming. Here the authors assess whether solar geoengineering could prevent such a collapse and find that this would be possible only with early deployment under low and medium emissions, highlighting the need for emissions mitigation. Nature Climate Change
