What is the limit of climate engineering by stratospheric injection of SO<sub>2</sub>?

The injection of sulfur dioxide (SO<sub>2</sub>) into the stratosphere to form an artificial stratospheric aerosol layer is discussed as an option for solar radiation management. The related reduction of radiative forcing depends upon the injected amount of sulfur dioxide, but aerosol mo...
