Stratospheric aerosol injection research and existential risk John Halstead https://doi.org/10.1016/j.futures.2018.03.004 Get rights and content Highlights • It is uncertain whether Stratospheric Aerosol Injection(SAI) research is justifiable, but a tentative case be made for security-focused research. • SAI would eliminate the arguable environmental existential risks of climate change (<1% – 3.5%). • It is extremely unclear whether SAI would reduce willingness to mitigate, and extensive efforts should be made to reduce the risk of mitigation obstruction. • Termination shock risk is overstated. • The risk of unilateral deployment is overstated, but SAI introduces other serious security risks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
