Research on solar geoengineering has been conducted, with focus groups held in 22 countries to gauge public perceptions. The results of this research have been reported, with some outlets suggesting that the us should pursue solar geoengineering research cautiously, while others note mixed public views on the effectiveness of geoengineering in reducing climate change effects. The studies and reports appear to emphasize the importance of public engagement and understanding in the discussion of geoengineering and carbon removal options.
