Effects of climate engineering on agriculture

   Ben Kravitz

   Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to halt climate change has thus
   far been slow and difficult. Worried about the rapidly worsening effects of
   climate change, scientists and policy makers have been increasingly
   discussing climate engineering technologies able to temporarily and
   deliberately modify the climate. Ideas like injecting a layer of tiny
   sulfur droplets into the stratosphere, brightening low clouds over the
   ocean, or thinning heat-trapping cirrus clouds, have never been tested at
   climate-altering scales in the real world. Climate models indicate that
   climate engineering, if carefully done, could reduce the damaging effects
   of climate change for many — but with possible side effects, some of which
   cannot be predicted. The risks of climate engineering need to be weighed
   against the risks of climate change to inform decision makers in the coming
   decades.
