Why
This strategy, known as stratospheric aerosol injection, is being considered as a way to artificially cool the planet due to slow progress on cutting emissions and growing marine heat waves.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
This proposed solar geoengineering technique, while offering some cooling benefits, would not uniformly protect the world's oceans, potentially exacerbating disparities in climate change impacts on global fishing communities and marine ecosystems.
