Scientists Propose Stratospheric Sulfur Injection to Cool Record-High Ocean Temps
Earth's temperatures are reaching their highest levels in approximately 6,500 years, with ongoing heat waves highlighting the severe impact on oceans. In response, researchers are proposing injecting sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere as a potential cooling intervention. Studies suggest this method could reduce both the intensity and duration of ocean heat waves. However, the approach fails to address ocean acidification, a separate but equally pressing consequence of climate change. Scientists stress that stratospheric intervention must be complemented by continued emissions reduction and carbon sequestration efforts.
