A Risk-Based Framework for Assessing the Effectiveness of Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering
Figure 2
Maps of outcomes of geoengineering.
The risk-based framework (illustrated in Figure 1) is used to classify outcomes for (a) annual-mean climatological surface temperature and (b) annual-mean climatological precipitation. Black shading denotes regions where neither the response to 4CO2 or geoengineering are statistically significant at the 95% level (making it impossible to accurately classify the effectiveness of geoengineering).
