- cwkoss 5y agoIs this a net 'good thing' for global human life because it will counterbalance anthropogenic climate change? (Probably still a significant net harm to Tongans I'd imagine :-( ) To what extent are the particles kicked up into the atmosphere a problem for life? Are they carcinogenic or respiratory risks?
