UK scientists aim to dim sunlight to fight climate change: Report
- The U.K. Is funding trials worth £50 million to reflect sunlight away from Earth, as reported by The U.K. Telegraph.
- Methods include stratospheric aerosol injection and marine cloud brightening, overseen by the Advanced Research and Invention Agency.
- Rutgers University researchers warned about risks, stating that stopping such geoengineering suddenly could lead to catastrophic effects, noted by the U.K.'s Daily Mail.
- Professor Mark Symes noted the risks of solar geoengineering, warning that halting efforts suddenly could have catastrophic effects, according to the U.K.'s Daily Mail.

Geoengineering technique could cool planet using existing aircraft
A technique to cool the planet, in which particles are added to the atmosphere to reflect sunlight, would not require developing special aircraft but could be achieved using existing large planes, according to a new modeling study led by UCL (University College London) researchers.
What do experiments for the “darkening” of the Sun entail. Green light from the UK government
Research into whether the Sun could be darkened to combat global warming will receive approval from the British government within weeks, and £50 million is expected to be spent on experiments and analysis, according to The Times.
F.D. Flam: Geoengineering’s risks need to be studied more
More than a dozen private companies around the world are looking to profit from extreme measures to combat global warming — filling the sky with sunlight-blocking particles, brightening clouds or changing the chemistry of the oceans. We live in precarious times when it’s not hard to find the technology and the money to change the Earth’s climate. The problem is that nobody knows how to control the unintended consequences. Some scientists who’ve …
Morano on Jesse Watters Primetime on Fox News on blocking the sun w/ geoengineering: ‘We spent decades cleaning up our atmosphere, & now they want to inject pollution back into it?!
Rough Transcript: Rachel Campos-Duffy: Marc Morano is the Climate Depot publisher and author of The Great Reset: Global Elites and the Permanent Lockdown, and of course, he joins us now. M…
