. It is, perhaps alarmingly, easier to imagine a rogue state from going it alone, or an eccentric billionaire taking it upon themselves.
And if getting political consensus before deployment might be difficult, imagine what would happen afterward if things go wrong. Consider a scenario in which the world somehow agrees on an SAI program, and cooperates on rolling it out. All seems to be going smoothly, until a hurricane or drought strikes a particular country, whose political leadership blames it on geoengineering.
“Most of the focus has been on: Would it work? Do we have the technology to do it? Do we think we could actually bring down temperatures worldwide?” says Georgetown University global change biologist Colin Carlson, lead author of the study. “There's been a lot less focus on the kind of questions that we're asking in this study, which is: OK, well, how would this affect people?”
Malaria transmission won’t go up or down uniformly across the planet as temperatures rise, according to the researchers’ modeling. They found that cooling caused by geoengineering would put millions of additional people in West Africa at risk of contracting malaria, but in East Africa, it would actually shorten the transmission season, puttingpeople at risk.
Any climate problems that had been suppressed would resurge, because, like an aspirin, SRM only brings down the fever—it doesn’t eliminate the underlying malady. One 2018
Study upon study has shown that geoengineering could threaten wildlife, forests and water resources, yet some are still peddling these dangerous technologies as possible solutions. The solution to global warming is mitigation, not shit techno utopias like these.
Maybe study solar cycles and realize .038% of a life gas has no meaningful impact on surface temperatures, exposing the rampant corruption in climate scientism.
It’s easy to know consequences. Just look at 60s, 70s, & 80s cooling trend due to nitrate & sulfate particulates in stratosphere from coal plants. And only way consequences are NOT known is if official Climate Change model is wrong. Are you saying the model is wrong?
