Solar radiation management could cool the planet. But at what cost? | FT Rethink 

Still it may be a necessity...

1:44 We know enough about the certain effects of continuous climate breakdown to deduce that SRM is extremely likely to have a net benefit for the climate however horrendous the side effects. 1:52 Making the color of the sky whiter is not really that big of a tradeoff put up against the collapse of civilization and the loss of a liveable climate. 1:56 I highly doubt there are negative side effects from SRM that climate breakdown won't also do, on a far more destructive scale. 2:07 That depends on the type of aerosol used. Calcium carbonate has the same reflectivity, minus the ozone depleting properties. Besides, current research suggests even sulphur dioxide won't have as bad effect on the ozone layer as many fear. 2:14 Neither will mitigation. But it will buy us the much needed time for decarbonization and CDR, the REAL climate solutions, to do their thing. 2:43 Let's get to work on that like our lives and the lives of everyone we know and love depends on it, because they do. 2:48 That's not really a problem. Renewables are already winning. They're just not winning fast enough to avoid apocalypse. In order to do that, we'd need a time machine. We cannot decarbonize our civilization when it's collapsed, and we cannot survive if our civilization collapses due to existing aerosols from burning fossil fuels that currently cools the climate by 0.5-1.5°C. If we collapse, those aerosols rain down causing an even bigger termination shock than the one we're witnessing today brought upon us by IMO2020. Like it or not, SRM will most definitely be vital to our survival.

Our lives are on the line, and we have ethicists whining for pay checks.

Why not trigger a volcano rather than using planes? I guess it's too dangerous?

Lets just move Earth a little away from the Sun.

1. istp estp 2. take 8 zyrtecs a day an watch howls moving castle and spirited away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

survive until june 24 and make it past psring.

Highlander II: The Quickening

Hey! SRM sounds very much like SMR! Will SRM spectacularly fail to keep up with its promises just like SMR did ? :-D

Look up GEOENGINEERING: ASSESSING THE IMPLICATIONS OF LARGE-SCALE CLIMATE INTERVENTION

You guys doing clouds harvest and side effects is flooding and extreme rain downpours!!! It’s not about cost it’s about side effects and no money can fix the problem!!! Yea you don’t learn from your mistakes you just keep making them!!! Don’t try to make more mess but try to clean the mess you already made that is causing this problem!!!

There are many problems with this approach. Sulfur Dioxide turns in sulfuric acid aka acid rain. Who pays for the resultant environmental issues? This seems like a foolish knee jerk short-term reaction to a long-term problem. Instead spend all of that money subsidizing solar rooftop power generation. Much better value proposition.
