Wouldn’t it be wise to reduce our output, rather than pump something else into the atmosphere?

- ACCount37 1y agoCan you "reduce output" globally, to negative values, within the next 5 years? Because that's what's required to match the predicted effects of doing stratospheric aerosol injection at scale. Currently, the temperature is still "chasing down" the sheer amount of CO2 that was emitted over time. Even the completely unrealistic scenario of reducing emissions to zero instantly would cause climate change to continue for a while. Geoengineering offers a range of sharp, cost-effective interventions that can knock the temperature down more quickly and more directly.
