Grift. Pure grift.
While it could work, I’m afraid they’ll fuck up something like carcinogenicity, like earth stratosphere is not a picnic, with uv radiation and all
Say it even works and then we enter a period of cooling down the line… Frostpunk here we come!
Eh, we can engineer something with half-life of 10 years, I have more of a problem that they’ll take this as indulgence to just pump co2 way further. I can already imagine smug libs telling: see, told you technology will work out
won’t this fuck up farming and flora in general?
Opponents argue that such research increases the risk that such technologies could be deployed, perhaps by rogue states, instead of cutting emissions. Critics also warn that solar geoengineering could cause damage such as crop failures, and would need to be maintained to avoid a sudden hike in temperature, unless carbon emissions fall rapidly.

I say go for it
