Inside the University of Chicago’s controversial solar geoengineering initiative

Grist

Solar geoengineering, for example, does nothing to ameliorate ocean acidification, which occurs when the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It is part of a broader university effort to become a global leader in the climate and energy space. Even in best-case scenarios, it would be only a partial stopgap.
