Question
When considering geoengineering, what is the main difference between solar radiation management and carbon dioxide removal?
a. |
solar radiation management is an extremely costly process, while CO2 removal is cost effective |
|
b. |
CO2 removal will be a continuous process while solar radiation management will require a large but singular effort |
|
c. |
CO2 removal is widely regarded as a reliable and realistic method, while solar radiation management is not |
|
d. |
solar radiation management only addresses temperatures while CO2 removal stabilizes all aspects of climate |
