Halving warming with idealized solar geoengineering moderates key climate hazards

Solar geoengineering (SG) has the potential to restore average surface temperatures by increasing planetary albedo 1-4 , but this could reduce precipitation 5-7 . Thus, although SG might reduce globally aggregated risks, it may increase climate risks for some regions 8-10 . Here, using the high-reso...
