82. Note that in contrast to Joshua B. Horton, Geoengineering and the Myth of Unilateralism: Pressures and Prospects for International Collaboration, 4 Stan. J.L. Sci. & Pol'y 56 (2011), our argument limits the threat of unilateralism based on constraints on capabilities, not on the claim that the prospect of retaliation would make unilateral action irrational.
