🌿 They highlighted how power, justice, and local sovereignty are central to debates about climate interventions & shared firsthand accounts of organizing efforts that have challenged industry-led experiments, emphasized precaution over techno-fixes, and accountability from governments and funders.

"Hundreds of documents show how researchers failed to notify officials in California about a test of technology to block the sun’s rays — while they planned a much huger sequel."

Researchers quietly planned a test to dim sunlight. They wanted to ‘avoid scaring’ the public.

Among others, the investigation also uncovers philanthro-capitalists backing this geoengineering scheme, essentially a climate scam that does nothing to address the root causes of #climatechange.

An investigation by POLITICO lifts the veil on how a “pilot” marine cloud brightening experiment in California abruptly shut down when local officials discovered it had been carried out without public notice.

🇺🇳 California has a responsibility to uphold international commitments under the UN Convention on Biological Diversity and reject dangerous distractions.

🌿 Real climate justice remain grounded in science, precaution, and justice - not in unproven schemes that put people and the planet at risk.

🚨 SB 643 could set a dangerous precedent for climate policymaking by advancing unproven schemes like direct air capture, biomass-based carbon removal, and marine geoengineering.

As Climate Week NY kicks off, climate justice organizations, Indigenous Peoples groups, civil society networks are urging California Governor Gavin Newsom to veto SB 643, a bill that would funnel $50 mn in public funds toward speculative and risky Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) geoengineering schemes.

Great article! Points out that scientists say solar geoengineering technologies could affect weather patterns, agriculture and the provision of basic needs like food and water. The impacts are poorly understood and can never be fully known. 😨

Millions in government funding are flowing to a controversial technique that proponents say will cool the planet by making clouds above the ocean more reflective. Can it be done? And should it be done?

Scientists are divided over the merits of ‘marine cloud brightening’ experiments aimed at making clouds more reflective and geoengineering the ocean

El kit muestra por qué la geoingeniería solar es una receta para el desastre:
🚨 Puede desestabilizar los sistemas climáticos.
🚨 Empeora las sequías e inundaciones.
🚨 Aumenta la injusticia climática global.
🚨 Da los contaminadores excusas para retrasar la acción real.

El kit proporciona:
✅ Un análisis crítico sobre geoingeniería solar
✅ Por qué no existe tal cosa como «solo investigación»
✅ Por qué estos planes no pueden gestionarse de forma justa o segura.
✅ Información sobre el movimiento global a favor de un acuerdo de no uso de la geoingeniería solar.

Los planes de geoingeniería solar incluyen:
🌋 Inyección de aerosoles estratosféricos
☁️ El aclaramiento de nubes marinas
❄️ La modificación del albedo superficial
⚠️ Todas estas son distracciones peligrosas.
