❗ Funding for solar geoengineering has increased more than tenfold between 2020 and 2025. Jared Sanborn and J. P. Sapinski look at who funded solar geoengineering projects and who received these funds in this new blog post. www.solargeoeng.org/who-funds-an... 🧵 ⬇️

The European Union has issued one of its strongest warnings yet on solar geoengineering calling it a high-risk intervention with major implications for climate, security, and geopolitics. @solargeoeng.bsky.social @ciel.org @etcgroup.bsky.social #NoGeoengineering #HandsOffMotherEarth

A 1°C warmer world will exist only in our memories. This is a frightening prospect. It’s understandable that some take refuge in the promise of future technological solutions. But this moment demands a sober appraisal of the science & tech available *today*. www.technosphere.earth/we-must-deal...

This #EarthDay, we’re highlighting key resources to better understand the growing push for geoengineering and and why we should be concerned. #HandsOffMotherEarth @cjaourpower.bsky.social @ciel.org @solargeoeng.bsky.social @geoengmon.bsky.social

If you're at #BostonClimateWeek next week, please join us for this panel on Solar Geoengineering! @solargeoeng.bsky.social

Who opposes solar geoengineering – and why? In a new blog post, Heleen M. Bruggink, Aarti Gupta, Rakhyun E. Kim and Frank Biermann explore this question based on their recent study. 🧵 ⬇️

🚨Geoengineering isn’t the climate “magic bullet” it’s often sold as ❗️Schemes like Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) include spraying particles to cool the atmosphere but don’t address the root cause of #climatecrisis like greenhouse gas emissions. @solargeoeng.bsky.social @ciel.org

Injecting particulates into the atmosphere isn’t a magical fix for the climate crisis (Mike Hulme) www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🎙️ Listen back to the discussion on the risks and regulation of solar geoengineering, featured on Eco-logic, an environmental radio show on WBAI Radio (starting at 10:02) www.wbai.org/archive/prog...

Radiative forcing geoengineering under high CO2 levels leads to higher risk of Arctic wildfires and permafrost thaw than a targeted mitigation scenario www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Prof. Mike Hulme, Professor of Human Geography, Department of Geography, University of Cambridge and Fellow of Pembroke College, shares why he signed the Open Letter calling for an International Non-Use Agreement on Solar Geoengineering 💬

"...using SAI [stratospheric aerosol intervention] to offset surface temperature increases would create decreases in the global protein concentrations of maize and rice, with minimal impact on wheat and soybean." iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

Well said.

'We have to face climate change' in the prism of a world 'wrecked' by conflicts and injustice - and Solar Radiation Management is not a solution for this @fabio-dandrea.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XmF...

"Upon the termination of the geoengineering, the climatic conditions—temperature, precipitation, winds and moisture would abruptly change to what it would have been under the global warming scenario." (Bhowmick et al. 2021) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

« Ce qui me sidère, c’est de voir que les complotistes sont par ailleurs complètement aveugles à la désinformation des industries fossiles pour nous faire croire qu’ils ne sont pas responsables des changements climatiques », soupire Marine de Guglielmo Weber. journal-labreche.fr/l-a-geo-inge...

#Podcast Géo-ingénierie : peut-on mener le climat à la baguette ? à (ré)écouter via @franceculture.fr ! #ScienceCQFD www.radiofrance.fr/francecultur...

"many marine-climate interventions are currently being tested and deployed in an under-regulated pseudo-scientific bubble" www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Also: I constantly see this line about "buying time" (KSR says in the pod too). As if we haven't known about the exact nature of this problem since before I was born??? This is transparently not about 'more time', because they're talking down mitigation www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/10/1...

So, in this episode of @the-breakdown.bsky.social, Kim Stanley Robinson says 'no one is proposing geoengineering as a replacement for mitigation'. Lots to agree w/ KSR in this ep but this isn't right. A nice example: bsky.app/profile/jtem...

Boosté par l’argent de Wall Street et de la Silicon Valley, le projet de refroidir artificiellement le climat sort des marges. Mais l’irruption d’intérêts privés dans ces technologies potentiellement catastrophiques suscite une levée de boucliers chez des scientifiques.  Par @ysciama.bsky.social‬

New article from the Solar Geoengineering Non Use Agreement team: "Solar Geoengineering for Profit" (Spoiler -- we're against it.) www.solargeoeng.org/solar-geoeng...

Interesting article by my colleagues, on possible applications of existing international law to restraints on solar geoengineering. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Today I learned that a majority of African nations are calling for a global governance mechanism for non-use of solar geoengineering. Important to know! wedocs.unep.org/rest/api/cor...

"African nations have acted because they don’t want their continent to become a test bed for unproven schemes to spray particles into the high atmosphere to reflect sunlight away from Earth for a small, uncertain cooling gain." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

📢 Young activists are calling for a ban on solar geoengineering. In this recent article, they argue that "using this controversial technology would be a profound betrayal of today's youth and future generations," advocating for a Non-Use Agreement on Solar Geoengineering.

Considering this and a number of additional risks, I repeat (with >500 colleagues) our call for an International Non-Use Agreement on Solar Geoengineering www.solargeoeng.org @solargeoeng.bsky.social

Pleased to join hundreds of #climate scientists and scholars from around the world in supporting the call for an International Non-Use Agreement on #Solar Geoengineering. Read more here:

📢 “Aligned with these recommendations, the EU should now take the lead globally to initiate an international norm shift towards non-use. We should not be talking about SRM as an option. It’s too risky to keep it on the table.” - Aarti Gupta, Professor of Global Environmental Governance
