“…At present, solar geoengineering is mostly discussed (and opposed) in relation to the risks of a global application of stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) technologies. While injecting sulphate aerosols into the stratosphere may be a rapid, effective and relatively inexpensive way to cool global temperatures , it poses new risks, including possible negative impacts on precipitation, ozone loss, ocean acidification, and acid rain impacts on forests and agriculture (Irvine, Kravitz, Lawrence and Muri, 2016;Hornigold and Allen 2021;Visioni et al, 2020;Futerman et al, 2023). Other mineral aerosols may overcome some of these problems (Keith, Weisenstein, Dykema and Keutsch, 2016;Oeste, de Richter, Ming, and Caillol, 2017), but present larger uncertainties (Dai et al, 2020).…”
