Private Venture Seeks to Dim Sun, Raising Global Concerns

A private company named Stardust wants to block sunlight to cool the Earth. This plan is raising worries about safety and who is in charge.

A private company wants to use special particles to block the sun's light. This is a new idea that could change the weather everywhere, and many people are concerned.

(My two cents: As long as we keep igniting carbon bombs in exponential manner, no amount of geoengineering will be able to mitigate the effects.)

who could have guessed #chemtrails could rescue us.

thanks for posting!

(p.s., what we really need is a very cheap power breakthrough -- read #fusion, as all of the energy generation models that underlie these projections are based on current tech)

#AndrewNg’s new model lets you play around with solar #geoengineering to see what would happen
The #climate emulator invites you to explore the controversial climate intervention.
The goal of Ng’s emulator, called #PlanetParasol, is to invite more people to think about #solargeoengineering, explore the potential trade-offs involved in such interventions, and use the results to discuss and debate our options for climate action.

We need to decarbonise not manipulate clouds. Solar geoengineering is a hubristic & technocentric response to climate change & uncertainty. Climate engineering off US coast could increase heatwaves in Europe #ClimateChange #ClimateDiary #SolarGeoengineering https://t.co/Fw8OWtW9BO

@itnewsbot "The Environmental Defense Fund (#EDF) plans to dole out 'millions of dollars' in grants for solar geoengineering research, The New York Times reports. EDF tells The Verge it shares concerns about #SolarGeoengineering, which is why it’s supporting studies into the potential repercussions it could have."

A podcast with climate researcher Leon Simons from the Netherlands, who talks about how our declining sulphur emissions are removing the aerosol shield that was protecting the Earth from solar radiation.

After 30 years of annual climate conferences, our GHG emissions continue on a "business as usual" trajectory - they keep going up. The patient is dying and needs a life saving operation now.

#SolarGeoengineering ☀️ 🌏 refers to proposed approaches to cool the #Earth by reflecting #solar radiation back to #space. Even as we take critical steps to slow #ClimateChange, they may not be enough to limit warming 🌡️ to the levels needed to avoid #catastrophic consequences. https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/what-solar-geoengineering

A novel idea to dim the Sun by spraying reflective particles into the stratosphere has been proposed by some scientists. The idea is inspired by a sci-fi novel by Kim Stanley Robinson, who imagines a future where solar geoengineering is used to combat climate change. The idea is controversial, but some argue that it could be a last resort option to avoid the worst effects of global warming. #SolarGeoengineering #ClimateChange #SciFi https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20231010-sun-solar-geoengineering-ministry-for-the-future-kim-stanley-robinson

The White House has released a report on researching the impacts of blocking out the sun, also known as solar geoengineering. Solar geoengineering is a hypothetical method of cooling down our overheated planet by continuously spewing reflective aerosol particles into the atmosphere. Many environmental leaders and scientists who study geoengineering oppose it, calling it “outlandish” and “a desperate idea”. #SolarGeoengineering #WhiteHouse #ClimateChange https://www.thecooldown.com/green-tech/white-house-dim-sun-solar-geoengineering/

@dw

It's cheap, it allows FF states and companies to kick the can down the road, you just have to ignore this bit:

"Not all the possible effects are fully understood, but scientists already know that the aerosols would produce acid rain, and would deteriorate the ozone layer, which according to the UN is helping to prevent more warming.

It would also affect precipitation patterns, potentially exacerbating catastrophic weather systems — already made worse by climate change — in some areas. Other, more catastrophic effects may come to light with further research.

And while reflecting the sun with aerosols would cool the planet, it cannot reverse other effects of climate change, such as ocean acidification."

Worth reading: Congressionally-Mandated Report on Solar Radiation Modification https://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-updates/2023/06/30/congressionally-mandated-report-on-solar-radiation-modification/

"The report cautions that any potential comprehensive research program must encompass the societal as well as the scientific dimensions of solar radiation modification"

Inside scoop on #solargeoengineering
#Geoengineering is umbrella term that covers wide range of efforts to alter #Earth, usually in some way related #climatechange. Propping up a melting #glacier, for example, could be considered a form of geoengineering.
Solar geoengineering, as you might guess from the name, involves sunlight. Reflecting some of the sun’s radiation back into space could help cool the planet, counteracting the warming caused by #greenhousegas #emissions
