Solar geoengineering simulations show uneven ocean cooling, leaving some regions under permanent extreme heat

Summary
New simulations of solar geoengineering reveal that cooling the Earth by reducing sunlight would not affect all oceans equally. While some seas would cool, large areas would remain hot and a few would actually heat up further. The strategy creates clear winners and losers across the world's oceans rather than spreading relief evenly, with some regions facing permanent extreme heat conditions beneath the surface.
