DRAWBACKS: Even if it works as intended, solar radiation management would do nothing to reduce atmospheric CO2, which is making oceans too acidic.

So they have attempted to make the acronym SRM stand not for «solar radiation management» but for «sunlight reflection methods» to avoid the sinister - sounding «radiation».

We have now passed over 30 consecutive years of above normal temperatures on planet Earth, and even now, individuals from the climate science / meteorological communities are actively propagating the blatant lie that climate engineering / solar radiation management will save us from planetary incineration (which geoengineering is making far worse, not better).

The federal government promotes solar energy as an alternative to carbon fuels and yet makes the energy system less viable with Geoengineering practices, solar radiation management.

The scenarios include: «business as usual» (BAU), which assumes no mitigation efforts are made («RCP8.5»); «mitigation», which assumes an intermediate level of emissions («RCP4.5») without negative emissions; «carbon dioxide removal» («CDR»), which assumes moderate emissions with long - term CO2 removal; and «solar radiation management» («SRM»), which is the same as the CDR pathway, but also includes enough SRM to limit temperatures to 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels by 2100.

Projected global average temperature rise above pre-industrial levels under a range of future scenarios, «business as usual» (BAU), which assumes no mitigation efforts are made (RCP8.5); «mitigation», which assumes moderate emissions (RCP4.5) without negative emissions, «carbon dioxide removal» (CDR), which assumes moderate emissions with long - term CO2 removal; and «solar radiation management» (SRM), which is the same as the CDR pathway but also includes enough SRM to limit temperatures to 1.5 C by 2100.
