AI synopsis

What people are saying

Many discussions highlight a blend of skepticism and intrigue about the article's findings. For example, one post questions the motives of geoengineering proponents, indicating some belief that it serves as a 'permanent crisis' for certain interests. The tone in several posts, like references to 'geoengineering' as a 'Climate Scam,' conveys both concern and doubt about the viability and intentions behind such measures, suggesting that word choice is pivotal in shaping sentiment.

AgreementNeither agree nor disagree

There is a mixed reaction to the publication, with some expressing skepticism about geoengineering methods while others appreciate the research.

InterestModerate interest

Posts show a moderate level of curiosity, indicating some users want to engage more but many seem to be passively following the discussion.

EngagementNeutral engagement

Most contributions are either sharing the publication link or expressing brief reactions, demonstrating a lack of deeper discourse.

ImpactModerate impact

The perception of the publication's impact is moderately high, as some consider it important for future climate discussions despite skepticism.

Abstract in brief

Overview of geoengineering with stratospheric sulphate aerosols, summarizing 30 years of research and recent climate models as of early 2008.
Studies indicate sulphate aerosols might counteract global temperature increases from greenhouse gases but could lead to regional climate changes and ozone depletion.
Delivery of sulphur species to the stratosphere is complex; while it could disturb the sulphur cycle, it contributes minimally to global 'acid rain' and requires further research on its impacts on health and environmental systems.

@jdallen_wa It’s disliked by those who prefer permanent crisis and the opportunities for rent seeking and power accumulation it offers. 50 or so years of geoengineering will buy us time to shift energy modes and increase carbon drawdown. https://t.co/hThDCaDGpA

@robsmallshire @mbarnardca @mzjacobson @MLiebreich @DKeithClimate Fair question. https://t.co/LrhjLy4r8T suggests even large scale geoengineering would be small (~2% of atm S sources). One of the authors is Rich Turco, whom I once briefly shared a workplace with. And TIL he was @mzjacobson's advisor.
