Geoengineering could protect the Amazon rainforest from climate change, new research shows. Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) aims to artificially cool Earth by increasing the reflection of incoming solar radiation, thereby offsetting warming caused by anthropogenic greenhouse gases. SAI is designed to mimic explosive volcanic eruptions by injecting aerosols into the stratosphere.
