Geoengineering of climate using stratospheric sulphate aerosols
The authors do not take a position on whether Solar Radiation Management (SRM) should be used as a strategy to respond to climate change. However, future international agreements regarding development, testing, & implementation of SRM schemes will not be enforceable without effective means of monitoring & verification, especially since the relatively low cost of injecting reflective particles such as sulfur into the upper atmosphere will allow individual nations – perhaps even private corporations or other groups – to experiment on their own.
