The IPCC Special Report (SR1.5) published in October 2018 is unequivocal. Global warming reached 1°C above preindustrial level in 2017 and atmospheric concentrations of CO2 passed 400 parts per million. Human activities have already substantially altered the Earth's climate. The assessment of low emission scenarios that limit global warming to 2°C above preindustrial levels shows that we are now facing an unprecedented scientific, technological and civilizational challenge, and stipulates that each year lost for mitigation makes the prospect of a real climate "disaster" a little more plausible. In this alarming context, solar radiation modification techniques are increasingly studied as a short-term alternative in order to limit the impacts...
