Abstract

The material presented by Meleshko et al., in the article “Is Aerosol Scattering in the Stratosphere a Safety Technology Preventing Global Climate Warming?” published in this number of the journal is under critical review. The references to the opinions of many prestigious foreign scientists are cited not in a quite correct way. Out of a huge data massif of observations the names of those scientists are selected whose viewpoints agree with the points of view of the authors of the paper considered. A conclusion is made that the paper under consideration does not contain scientific information for taking responsible solutions.
