Half-Assed Solar Geoengineering Is Worse Than Climate Change Itself

beccaf writes: Ecologists and climate scientists investigated the consequences of rapid initiation of solar geoengineering (pumping sulfuric aerosols into the atmosphere) in 2020 and then rapid termination of this solar geoengineering fifty years later. It provides only short-term benefits to biodiversity, and, if stopped abruptly, temperatures will soar faster than they would with climate change alone, and the consequences to all living things will be even worse than if humans had never interfered in Earth's natural processes at all.
