While the concept has been explored as a theoretical method to address global warming, it also carries several potential risks and concerns. Some of the key risks associated with stratospheric aerosol injection include:
The injection of aerosols may cause regional climate disruptions, including shifts in precipitation patterns, altered monsoon cycles, and extreme weather events.
Decisions about where to apply SAI and to what extent could raise ethical and geopolitical concerns.
Relying on such techniques could reduce the motivation to implement long-term sustainable solutions to reduce carbon emissions.
" This could result in severe climate disruptions.
there were no large-scale plans to implement stratospheric aerosol injection.
