Albedo: Portable

It lunged. Albedo sidestepped, grabbed his sword, and in one fluid motion, drove it through the creature’s chest. The doppelgänger grinned, melting around the blade like wax. “That won’t— ah .” It looked down. The sword was not steel. It was chalk.

The most controversial albedo proposal is stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI). The idea is to inject sulfur dioxide (like a volcanic eruption) into the stratosphere to create a fine haze of sulfate aerosols with a high albedo. This artificial albedo would reflect roughly 1% of sunlight back to space, theoretically cooling the planet quickly. Albedo

is a measure of the reflectivity of a surface, representing the fraction of incoming solar radiation that is reflected back into space. It is a unitless value ranging from 0 to 1, where 0 indicates a "perfect absorber" that reflects no light, and 1 indicates a "perfect reflector" that absorbs no light.
