Solar geoengineering might work, but local temperatures could keep rising for years

Phys.org  September 28, 2022 Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), the theoretical deployment of particles in the stratosphere to enhance reflection of incoming solar radiation, is one of the strategies to slow, pause, or reverse global warming. SAI is likely be for a specific aim, such as affording time to implement mitigation strategies, lessening extremes, or reducing the odds of reaching a biogeophysical tipping point. A team of researchers in the US (Colorado State University, US Naval War College, RI) used an ensemble climate model experiment that simulated the deployment of SAI in the context of an intermediate greenhouse gas trajectory quantifying […]
