And yes it has been receiving great attention, one of the reasons why I chose this topic for my blog!Maria Christofihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17691421487635204262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5066455796527100553.post-2003440923788931952015-10-27T07:18:02.908-07:002015-10-27T07:18:02.908-07:00Thanks Celia!

I feel that the risks will not be only to freshwater ecosystems, I believe that people may have respiratory problems and also that this may not actually solve the climate change impacts!Maria Christofihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17691421487635204262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5066455796527100553.post-78306314998819243002015-10-27T06:34:23.504-07:002015-10-27T06:34:23.504-07:00Sounds a very interesting story of new technology,...Sounds a very interesting story of new technology, Maria! Like Ben and Celia pointed out, I think the current SRM system seems to face a lot of troubles. I wonder if any scientists come up with an alternative method. I do not know much about geoengineering, but it is certainly something that has recently been receiving a great attention. Looking forward to your next blog!Satomi Oginohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735716202637204737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5066455796527100553.post-5898216907617161722015-10-27T05:35:16.161-07:002015-10-27T05:35:16.161-07:00I agree with Ben - the risks to freshwater ecosyst...I agree with Ben - the risks to freshwater ecosystems seem too large to experiment with putting sulphur in the atmosphere! Great article though - I know very little about solar radiation management and geoengineering so I can't wait to read more of your blog!

SRM (specifically adding aerosols to the atmosphere) is un-appealing for me! I feel that it won't actually resolve the problem! I will be talking next week more about people's feelings on the matter!Maria Christofihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17691421487635204262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5066455796527100553.post-12772456576283478462015-10-26T10:16:17.375-07:002015-10-26T10:16:17.375-07:00As someone who feels very passionately about fresh...As someone who feels very passionately about freshwater ecosystems, I'm not on board with pumping more sulphur into the atmosphere! It is incredibly counter productive to sacrifice one part of the biosphere for the sake of protecting others. I think there could be huge potential in SRM but we should look for other mechanisms. I look forward to your next post on this :DBen Siggeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04339976326204118499noreply@blogger.com
