Potential ecological impacts of climate intervention by reflecting sunlight to cool Earth

As the effects of anthropogenic climate change become more severe, several approaches for deliberate climate intervention to reduce or stabilize Earth's surface temperature have been proposed. Solar radiation modification (SRM) is one potential approach to partially counteract anthropogenic warming by reflecting a small proportion of the incoming solar radiation to increase Earth's albedo.

Potential ecological impacts of climate intervention by reflecting sunlight to cool Earth

Summary

Decoupling Temp rise and GHG emissions would create a lot more than continuing ocean acidification ... Compliqué!

Notes

Because SAI does not solve the problem ... its effects are different on ecoystems.

Examples: SAI does not impact night time or (impacts less) winter warming. Or prevent the loss of extreme cold temperatures
