This study of course does not take away very different concerns related to stratospheric aerosol SRM geoengineering, like possible damage to the ozone layer [which in turn would be good news if you hate waiting for that spring tan] and the fact that allowing CO2 concentrations to keep rising
presents other problems, like the necessity to never stop with the active process of SRM geoengineering, and increasing ecological damage caused
by ocean acidification.
