Angus Ferraros Blog: Can stratospheric aerosols directly affect global precipitation?

Blog article on Ferraro, Angus J.; Griffiths, Hannah G. (2016). „What is the effect of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering on global precipitation? If we were to inject sulphate aerosol into the stratosphere it would reflect some sunlight and cool the Earth, but the atmosphere’s CO₂ levels would remain high. This is important, because CO₂ actually has an effect on precipitation even when it doesn’t affect surface temperature.“
