Nice branding.
The kind of Solar Radiation Management technology that we need is for containerships. New low sulfur blends for fuel oil are ironically increasing warming because the ships no longer produce reflective soot. Also, the cleaner fuels also reduce marine cloud brightening effects (ship tracks).
We urgently need research on solutions where ocean water can be aerosolized behind containerships to support cloud brightening. This could significantly reduce ocean warming for a low cost. Alternatively, adding chemicals to fuels. But the later is likely to freak people out, whereas aerosolized ocean water is very palatable to the public.
