如果减少排放的缓解战略失败，迅速降低全球气温的需要变得迫切，平流层气溶胶注入(SAI)通常被称为“B计划”。从理论上讲，SAI将有助于争取更多的时间来减少碳和其他排放，同时也会冷却或将地球保持在危险变暖的门槛以下，尽管它本身并不是解决气候变化问题的办法。它在国际关系(IR)中受到的关注很少，通常集中在技术治理的需要上，并假设该技术的开发和使用将主要受到气候影响脆弱性的推动。通过分析常见的安全假设和先发制人的安全框架，文章表明，虽然目前对SAI的评估侧重于该技术的环境影响，但更广泛的政治和安全动态，特别是希望通过解决方案将气候变化作为安全问题更容易理解的愿望，可能会对如何使用该技术以及由谁使用该技术产生重大影响。
Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI), is often referred to as a ‘Plan B’ if mitigation strategies to reduce emissions fail and the need to rapidly reduce global temperatures becomes urgent. In theory, SAI would help buy more time to bring carbon and other emissions down while also cooling or keeping the planet below the threshold for dangerous warming, though it is not a solution to the problem of climate change in itself. What little attention it has received in International Relations (IR) is usually focused on the need for governance of the technology and assumes that development and use of the technology will be driven primarily by vulnerability to climate impacts. Through an analysis of common security assumptions and preemptive security framings the article shows that while current assessments of SAI focus on the technology’s environmental impact, broader political and security dynamics, particularly the desire to render climate change more intelligible as a security problem with a solution may have substantial influence on how the technology is used and by whom.
