Unintended Hazards of Geoengineering

[Comment:  Health issues that may arise as a result of geoengineering activities are not discussed, though apparent. Nonetheless, it's good to see knowledge of these activities intelligently discussed. The comments are worth a look-see too.]

"Harvard geoengineers are set to spray sun-reflecting chemical particles into the atmosphere to cool the planet from a balloon at 80 000 feet over Fort Sumner, New Mexico [1]. Chief investigator David Keith manages a multimillion dollar research fund awarded by Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and has already commissioned a study by a US aerospace company that made the case for large-scale deployment of solar radiation management technologies. The experiment, to be conducted with James Anderson within a year, will release tens to hundreds of kilograms of particles to measure the impacts on ozone chemistry and test ways of making sulphate aerosols the appropriate size."
