"Given the currently very high levels of scientific and technical uncertainty ... as well as the potential harmful uses, we advocate for a moratorium on all large-scale [solar geoengineering] experimentation and deployment."
"There's insufficient scientific evidence to show that solar geoengineering can actually prevent climate change," states the opinion written by the GCSA.
Solar geoengineering merely attempts to tackle 'the symptoms rather than the root causes of climate change' according to the GCSA.
While proponents argue that solar geoengineering may help in the fight against climate change, experiments have triggered backlash over concerns that these technologies could do more harm than good.
