The Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP) has just concluded its second special issue, which this article introduces. Here we discuss the history of GeoMIP, what was learned in the first special issue, why a second special issue was needed, the additional knowledge that was provided in that issue, and some next steps for GeoMIP and the field of geoengineering research. We focus on response and uncertainty across climate models, questions for which GeoMIP is particularly well suited.
