Scientists have come forward with the introduction of a ban on artificially reducing the brightness of the Sun to combat the consequences of global warming, writes Science Alert. The use of solar reflection technology poses risks for the planet, scientists say.

Scientists agree that geoengineering technology to combat global warming would be disastrous for the planet. This technology involves spraying special aerosols containing sulfur particles into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight back into space.

Experts believe that the decrease in brightness could lead to a decrease in solar activity in the Earth’s atmosphere and a disruption of the monsoon cycle in South Asia and West Africa. This will have a negative impact on millions of inhabitants of the planet, who will need food due to the reduction in harvest.

Scientists are also concerned about the repair of the ozone layer, which will disappear faster due to the decrease in the brightness of the Sun. The prolonged renewal of the ozone layer threatens humanity with intense ultraviolet radiation. Today, climatologists are of the opinion that the fight against global warming should be started by reducing the emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other substances into the atmosphere. Source
