Why a new generation of scientists is studying how to dim the sun Fed up with a lack of action on climate change, some Gen Z students are looking into solar geoengineering as a way to address the crisis.

#geoengineering is a dangerous approach to the #climatecrisis in my opinion. Lots of #research is necessary as this is a case of "we don't know what we don't know".

Foundation calls for rules to prohibit solar radiation management as global investments rise | Clean Energy Wire As global funding for solar radiation management (SRM) has increased more than tenfold in the past six years, the international community should agree on rules to prohibit the development and use of these technologies, said the German Heinrich-Böll-Foundation – a think tank closely affiliated with the Green Party.

Testing the waters: can pumping chemicals into the ocean help stop global heating? To some it was a reckless experiment but scientists hope the dispersal of 65,000 litres of sodium hydroxide into the Gulf of Maine could ease the climate crisis

tl;dr In short: It won't. #geoengineering

The US barely bothers to track geoengineering. What could go wrong? People have tried to manipulate the weather for thousands of years, whether through magic, superstition, or science. In the 1840s, one schoolteacher suggested that the United States regulate the climate by setting massive, weekly forest fires. Fifty years later, researchers were trying to “shock” rain out clouds with cannon fire, and by 1989, one engineer proposed sending a 1,200-mile-wide glass parasol into space to reflect solar radiation and cool the planet. Although many of the wilder ideas to control nature were eventually abandoned, what’s now known as geoengineering remains a strange, somewhat ad hoc field even today. A recent report by the Government Accountability Office, or GAO, found that the federal government still does not have sufficient oversight over weather modification activities and is also “not fully meeting its responsibilities to maintain and share weather modification reports.” The two problems are connected, the report says. The lack of supervision could allow harmful, rogue geoengineering operations to proceed largely unmonitored, while the lack of transparency could fuel misinformation and public confusion about these activities. A better database of geoengineering operations that was easier for the public to navigate could go a long way toward dispelling that misinformation and improving oversight, said...

Among Young Climate Scientists, a Growing Interest In Geoengineering Fed up with a lack of action on climate change, some students are researching dimming the sun despite the pushback from other scientists. Yashas Raj and Jake Chapman are hunkered down in a basement laboratory at the University of Cambridge’s Department of Engineering — tinkering with a handheld nozzle they hope will one day be capable of shooting trillions of microscopic water droplets into the sky every second to brighten clouds over the Arctic Ocean. Boosting cloud reflectivity by adding the mist, they say, would cut the amount of sunlight reaching the water’s surface and slow the melting of Arctic sea ice. The two PhD students spend much of their time here in the Seawater Lab, mulling over revolutionary technologies that could curb Earth’s warming trajectory. Their work has drawn contempt from some campus peers who denounce such research aimed at manipulating the world’s climate over fears of unforeseen environmental consequences. But such criticism has faded into background noise since the U.K. government last year allocated millions of dollars in funding to investigate climate geoengineering. It marked the first time a state funding body had invested significant money in geoengineering research, mainstreaming the once-taboo field and offering some validation to...

Ocean geoengineering trial finds no evidence of harm to marine life Can we safely remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by counteracting ocean acidification? Maybe, suggests a trial in which ships poured 65,000 litres of alkaline sodium hydroxide into the Gulf of Maine off the East Coast of the US in August 2025. “We’re the first group to do a ship-based alkalinity enhancement experiment,” says Adam Subhas at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, whose team announced their initial findings at the Ocean Sciences Meeting in Glasgow, UK, on 25 February. “We can definitely say that there was additional CO2 uptake as a result of this experiment.” Between 2 and 10 tonnes of CO2 was removed from the atmosphere in the following four days, Subhas says, and the team estimates that up to 50 tonnes could be removed altogether. What’s more, no significant effect on marine life was seen. However, when asked by New Scientist, Subhas acknowledged that the team has yet to estimate the emissions required to manufacture the sodium hydroxide and transport it to the trial site. This means it is unclear whether the trial resulted in a net removal of CO2. “It’s a really good question,” said Subhas. “That’s going to be a really critical area of...

Geoengineering Schemes and genetically engineered trees in Brazil Sign up to the GJEP email newsletter for weekly news and updates on our programs and campaigns! In Brazil, so-called “green deserts” have been expanding across the country, bringing the same water scarcity and biodiversity loss associated with traditional deserts. Unlike traditional dry deserts defined by the absence of trees, green deserts are defined by their presence – namely, the presence of fast-growing non-native eucalyptus. Brazil produces more eucalyptus than any other country, primarily for timber and pulp harvest. Suzano sits at the center of this expansion. The self-proclaimed “largest pulp manufacturer in the world” is at the top of the industry and a proud actor in the Brazilian timber market. Its new megaplant in Ribas do Rio Pardo, Mato Grosso do Sul–opened with the blessing of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva–is one of the largest industrial pulp facilities on Earth. As plantations grow, so do reports of depleted national water reserves, increased deforestation of native forests, loss of Indigenous and traditional territories, agrotoxin contamination, and escalating conflicts with indigenous communities. Now, Suzano is adding genetically engineered (GE) eucalyptus to this already destructive model. GE Eucalyptus and a New “Carbon Colonialism” GE eucalyptus is being marketed as the next...
