🎙️ 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. If you're new to Solar Geoengineering, please check out and sign/endorse the @solargeoeng.bsky.social Non-use Agreement campaign and/or talk to any one of the signatories to that campaign. share.google/72PZF3zVhae2...

'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...

"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...

Récit en BD d'un projet contesté, qui séduit les industriels du fossile : répandre du soufre dans la stratosphère pour faire baisser la température. l.revue21.fr/9G Auteurs: @ysciama.bsky.social et Alban Marilleau

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

📢 Statement from Vanuatu: “Why a Non-Use Mechanism on Solar Geoengineering is urgently needed” by Honorable Ralph Regenvanu, Vanuatu’s Special Envoy for Climate Change and Environment, delivered at Science Summit during UNGA79 @rregenvanu.bsky.social Some excerpts of his powerful call: [1/9]

Can I please draw attention to this important initiative which is now joining us here. Solar radiation manipulation (i.e. the direct injection of particles into the stratosphere) implies truly existential risks and it offers - regrettably - no solution for the currently ongoing planetary crisis.

❗Over 535 scholars from 67 countries and 1900+ civil society organizations support the call for an International Non-Use Agreement on #SolarGeoengineering. You can join them here: www.solargeoeng.org/take-action/
