Solar Radiation Management

Solar Radiation Management (SRM) is a type of geoengineering that aims to reduce global warming by reflecting a small portion of sunlight back into space. Techniques include dispersing reflective particles in the stratosphere or increasing cloud reflectivity. The goal is to lower Earth's temperature temporarily without changing greenhouse gas levels. While it could help buy time to address climate change, SRM also involves risks like altering weather patterns and does not resolve issues like ocean acidification. It is considered a controversial and experimental approach, requiring careful research and international cooperation.
