““using a technique known as stratospheric aerosol injection, which they say could cut the rate of global warming in half.”
#1 I thought aerosol aided in destroying ozone layer - isn’t that what they clammored about and were working to get all aerosol devices banned or changed?
#2 cut the rate of global warming in half - since global warming is a lie, we would then still have half the rate of a lie?
It has no affect on the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. These people are stupid.
Aerosol spray is a type of dispensing system which creates an aerosol mist of liquid particles. This is used with a can or bottle that contains a payload and propellant under pressure.
Some propellants were deemed bad for the ozone layer
Aerosols are minute particles suspended in the atmosphere. When these particles are sufficiently large, we notice their presence as they scatter and absorb sunlight. Their scattering of sunlight can reduce visibility (haze) and redden sunrises and sunsets. https://www.nasa.gov/centers/langley/news/factsheets/Aerosols.html
Same name but completely different things. The idea that aerosols would cut sunlight is sound, but an incredibly stupid to contemplate doing that. When volcanoes spew aerosols into the stratosphere, they not only cut sunlight and temperature, but they cause the death of some corals, forests, etc that rely on a certain amount of sunlight.
As for "global warming", it is real and it is good. The idea that we should stay (or have stayed) at Little Ice Age temperatures is insane. Also the earth was CO2 starved in the last ice age, just 20k years ago. We had the lowest CO2 in earth's history, and it's a long history. CO2 starvation ih the past million or so years has caused the evolution of C4 plants like corn and sugarcane which are extremely effective at sucking CO2 out of the air even though they end up dead in the ice age.
The only thing preventing permanent ice age on earth was the fact that those plants mostly died and allowed CO2 to recover a bit and warm things back up. But what prevents an ice age now is manmade CO2. It's the best thing we have done to the planet.

In the 1970’s, they proposed dusting the poles with soot, to increase solar absorption to combat Global Cooling (the climate catastrophe du jour).
