Geoengineering is a proposed "solution" to [[climate change]], involving adding particulate patter to the atmosphere to reflect away some amount of sunlight into space. This would likely do more harm than good.

{{considerations}}

==Habitat loss==
{{sum|Major problem|bad}}
Less sun → lower [[crop yields]] → more [[land]] needed to produce the same amount of [[food]] → more [[deforestation]] and [[habitat loss|destruction of ecosystems]] in general.

{{light|Research needed:}}
: {{minor|What about targeting only barren land that has no agricultural activity? Although keep in mind that ''desert'' land already has a high [[albedo]] and might not benefit{{x|in terms of sunlight reflected to cool the planet}}much from geoengineering. {{rn}} }}

==Pollution==
{{sum|Unknown}}
Would depend on the type of particulate matter used. {{rn}}
