Fact check: Stratospheric aerosol injections not 'root cause' of global warming

"Juan Moreno-Cruz, the Canada research chair for energy transitions at the University of Waterloo, said that while there is interest in SAIs and other geoengineering techniques, researchers have not deployed them on a large scale.

"There is this difference between people seeing that there is interest in research and it automatically translating that into technical deployment," Moreno-Cruz said. "There is a clear stopgap right now in this research community that does not even allow for engineering design.""

Juan Moreno-Cruz is an Associate Professor at the School of Environment, Enterprise and Development (SEED) and the Canada Research Chair in Energy Transitions at the University of Waterloo. He is also a CESifo Research Affiliate.
