Europe should impose a moratorium on untested solar radiation modification technologies, citing high uncertainties and risks in their potential effects on climate and weather patterns.
Scientists warn that geoengineering does not tackle the root cause of climate change, potentially undermining efforts aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The report stresses the importance of prioritizing efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions, rather than relying on risky solar geoengineering as a solution to climate change.
The European Group on Ethics in Science emphasizes that presenting solar geoengineering as a solution might detract from addressing the actual causes of climate change.
