Solar radiation management (SRM or solar geoengineering) is a theoretical approach to reducing some of the impacts of climate change by reflecting a small amount of sunlight back out into space.
SRM would not directly reduce concentrations greenhouse gases, and therefore numerous expert reports have concluded that it could never be a complete solution to global warming and does not represent a substitute for mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. However, they have also concluded that it might be able to reduce some climate risks. For instance, if it could be made to work, SRM would be the only known method for quickly stopping the rise in global temperatures. It could even be used to cool the planet, should that ever be necessary.
A variety of SRM techniques have been proposed, but those receiving the most attention from researchers involve brightening marine clouds by spraying seawater into the lower atmosphere, or replicating the cooling effect of volcanoes by spraying reflective sulphate particles into the upper atmosphere.
It is not yet known what all the side effects of SRM could be, or whether they would be very damaging.
Some possible side effects are known, however. For instance, the sprayed particles, or aerosols, might delay the regeneration of the ozone layer. There might also be some health effects from the additional aerosols in the atmosphere, although these are not currently expected to be large.

As mandatory COVID-19 lockdowns around the world start to ease and businesses slowly open their doors, many of us facing a dilemma: we feel anxious about resuming our normal routines, even though they're precisely what we've been looking forward to. So what exactly makes us feel uneasy about returning to work?
[I] For one thing, we have been constantly stressed recently. [II] As infection rates dip and swell, orders from local and national leaders shift and concern for the safety of loved ones grows, living in a state of confusion and worry has become the norm. [III] And, understandably, these feelings won't magically disappear when lockdown lifts. [IV] This is part of the reason why the idea of resuming our normal routines isn't sparking the positivity we expected.
Additionally, the few benefits that have emerged from lockdowns will make the transition back to work even more stressful when they are suddenly taken away, says Dr. David Rosmarin, assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "More sleep due to less commuting and working time, more time to spend with family members and less social pressure" are things many of us will sorely miss once lockdown lifts.
Furthermore, Rosmarin has learned that those who suffer mental health conditions related to social anxiety have fared well during the global coronavirus-driven lockdowns because they have been able to avoid their fears of social interaction. Besides, the lack of stress associated with getting up early to be on time and perform at work has become one of the biggest sources of stress relief. And all these advantages may quickly and completely disappear when they eventually return to the workplace.
Being confined to our homes has also allowed us to shift into a quieter and more peaceful pace of living, says Cassiday, so returning to commuting may seem unappealing. "The truth is that rushing to work and standing in crowded trains is stressful and very likely not an ideal situation for any person." As we return to public transport and our offices, we will likely be forced to interact with these shared spaces in new and unfamiliar ways.
The important thing that we must remember when we resume our routines is that attempting not to publicly express our anxiety about the transition will only make it more difficult. The goal should never be to dissemble anxiety by pretending that it doesn't exist or to race towards a feeling of normality, "but rather to accept that it's present and bravely choose to exist and thrive with one's anxiety," says Rosmarin.
