🚨Geoengineering isn’t the climate “magic bullet” it’s often sold as ❗️Schemes like Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) include spraying particles to cool the atmosphere but don’t address the root cause of #climatecrisis like greenhouse gas emissions. @solargeoeng.bsky.social @ciel.org

Geoengineering does little to defuse most of the risks that really matter for people – and it runs the risk of making some harms worse

Any climate solution that begins “a secretive team of scientists is working on…” should probably end with “this won’t fix the real problem”. Dimming the sun isn’t climate action — it’s avoidance, or buying time at best. www.independent.co.uk/climate-chan...
