Here's what the UK govt statement says about SRM (solar radiation management): "The government is not deploying SRM, and has no plans to do so…[Deployment] would be likely to lead to 'winners' and 'losers', with some regions suffering detrimental impacts."pic.twitter.com/Mcy25INwBK
Key overarching principle in UK govt position is that cutting emissions remains top priority:
"It is premature to consider geo-engineering as a viable option for addressing climate change. The priority is, and must be, to tackle the root cause by reducing emissions."
