Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering could lower future risk of ‘Day Zero’ level droughts in Cape Town

Anthropogenic forcing of the climate is estimated to have increased the likelihood of the 2015–2017 Western Cape drought, also called ‘Day Zero’ drought, by a factor of three, with a projected additional threefold increase of risk in a world with 2 °C warming.
