Explanation:

This category of geoengineering strategies involves reflecting away some portion of incoming solar radiation in order to cool the planet. In general, these strategies address the effects of global warming, but do nothing to mitigate the root cause, which are increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. They are usually thought of as quicker as and more effective than most CDR strategies. The different SRM options being considered vary greatly.
