If India is experiencing large scale mortality from warming, they aren't going to give a damn about your concerns. They're just going to inject aerosols into the stratosphere.

India especially is experiencing many more deaths from air quality than from warming

    • Besides the well-documented increases in PM2.5 concentrations at ground level we already have clear research on we'd also face

      - ozone layer depletion

      - reduced precipitation in an area already drought-stricken. As well as other difficult to predict effects on local climate and weather

      - alteration of many stratospheric chemical cycles. We're talking changes to nitrogen oxide chemistry and even impacts on hydroxyl radicals which drive atmospheric cleansing capacity

      - increased risk of acid rain from sulfuric acid

      Like I said. The research is not there. There are many many side effects we haven't worked out yet.

      And spare me the personal attacks about dishonesty, jackass
