‘Rogue’ action by countries to geoengineer climate could worsen impacts – study

Solar radiation modification techniques could lower global temperatures (Alamy/PA) -

Geoengineering to reduce temperatures in one part of the world could worsen droughts and hurricanes elsewhere, scientists have warned.

A report on the current science around techniques to reflect some sunlight back into space – known as solar radiation modification (SRM) – has found that internationally co-ordinated deployment could reduce global temperatures and some of the impacts of climate change.
