💨 Abstract

The UK's Advanced Research and Innovation Agency (ARIA) is investing £57 million into "dimming the sun," or Solar Radiation Modification (SRM), to reflect sunlight and temporarily reduce global temperatures. Methods include spraying seawater to brighten clouds and releasing sulfate aerosols into the stratosphere. While Professor Stuart Haszeldine supports this as a necessary measure against climate change, critics like Raymond Pierrehumbert argue it's not a viable solution and may have unintended consequences.
