The proposed solar geoengineering method could help mitigate the severe impacts of El Niño, which include extreme weather events and potential economic losses in the trillions of dollars globally. However, the approach has sparked concerns among climate scientists, who warn that it could distract from essential efforts to reduce carbon emissions. Additionally, the long-term deployment of such technology may lead to unforeseen environmental consequences. Critics argue that the models used to simulate the effects of solar dimming are imperfect, raising the risk of creating new problems that could outweigh the benefits.
