Since the 1990s, climatologists like Jane Long and Julio Friedman have advocated cooling the Earth through solar radiation management (SRM), which proposes injecting sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere. The sulfur clouds would block sunlight, imitating the cooling effects of volcanos. Advocates suggest that geo-engineering is not only cost-effective, but also the only realistic solution to the problem of global warming.
