US EditionBillionaire-backed team planned massive test planned a test to dim sunlight: Here's how it turned out
- Researchers in California recently planned a cloud-brightening experiment covering over 3,900 square miles, withholding details from local officials, according to Politico's E&E News.
- Project messages indicate researchers avoided notifying state officials and instructed to `avoid scaring them overly`, highlighting secrecy tactics in the study.
- Funding records show the project was backed by crypto tycoons and philanthropists, with support totaling between $10 million and $20 million, according to reports.
- Alameda officials shut down the May 2024 test on the retired USS Hornet, and the Alameda city council later voted unanimously to block further efforts.
- Experts warn that the experiment's secrecy underscores the need for federal oversight, as Politico reports over 575 scientists have demanded a halt to solar geoengineering.
