Global heatwaves prompt discussions on solar radiation modification technologies. This approach involves significant logistical challenges and potential ecological risks. SRM does not address root causes of climate change and may weaken emission reduction incentives. Its impacts on rainfall and monsoons create considerable scientific uncertainty and geopolitical risks. Developing nations and scholars advocate for restraint and equitable governance of this technology.
