Yeah, stratospheric seeding is mostly a stopgap measure that needs to be used in conjunction with other geoengineering and political projects that strive to reduce/reverse CO2 emissions.

And therein arises the "moral hazard" issue. There is a legitimate concern that geoengineering could abate some of the concern over climate change and lead to further delays to reduce GHG emissions. And this is a serious problem because while we might mask global temperature change with these Approaches, they don't help resolve issues like ocean acidification.
