Inside the University of Chicago’s controversial solar geoengineering initiative

Grist

Adding sulfate aerosols to the stratosphere would degrade the ozone layer (thereby increasing global cancer rates) and increase acid rain. It is part of a broader university effort to become a global leader in the climate and energy space. This has created a vacuum that University of Chicago leaders seem excited to fill.
