Now more than ever, we need to heed warnings about overshoot pathways & follow leadership of Africa & Pacific calling for non-use of solar geoengineering. We urge our movement partners around the world to join us at this critical moment in saying: ‘Hands Off Mother Earth, No to Geoengineering.’

What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.
