In a bold move to combat global warming, some scientists have proposed a controversial idea: dimming the sun. This concept, known as stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), aims to mimic volcanic eruptions and lower global temperatures. However, experts like Faye McNeill from Columbia Climate School warn against it, citing potential societal impacts and uncertainties. In this video, we explore the limitations of SAI, from the interaction of aerosols with ecosystems to the practical challenges of injecting massive amounts of particles. We also discuss alternative approaches and the need to address the root cause of global warming. Join us as we delve into the scientific debate and uncover the risks and trade-offs of solar geoengineering.
