Differences between CDR and SRM Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) / Solar Radiation Management (SRM) 22. The fundamental difference between CDR and SRM is that carbon sequestration addresses the root issue—that is, the concentration of carbon dioxide—while solar reflection “treats the symptom”—that is, global warming. The Sustainability Council of New Zealand pointed out that problems arising from this include: • reflection does not address the acidification of oceans that results from excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere being absorbed by the sea; • schemes that inject particles into the atmosphere are likely to alter the distribution of rainfall and also cause some reduction in the global quantity of rainfall; and • many reflection techniques will need to be replenished constantly over their lifetime and, if this is not kept up, extremely rapid warming could ensue
