SYears ago in the Guardian pages, we started alerting the increasing interest that is paid to solar geological engineering – a Crazy bark A plan to cancel global heating by placing pollutants in the atmosphere that reduces the sun by reflecting some sunlight into space.
In one of the widely distributed suggestions, the aircraft fleet will constantly inject sulfur compounds into the upper atmosphere, simulating the effects of a huge group of volcanoes that erupt continuously. In essence, we broke the climate by launching Gigatonnes from fossil thermal carbon dioxide, and solar geological engineering suggests “repair” by breaking a completely different part of the climate system.
Reform is similar to taking aspirin for cancer and treating symptoms, but leaving the basic malignant tumor to continue growth. It represents the issues of governance that cannot be overcome in our troubled modern political environment. If we become dependent on solar geological engineering, the world will be left subject to a catastrophic The shock of the end If the intervention is stopped – at any time during the next millennium or even longer.
Since our comment in 2021, the situation has grown much worse, with tens of millions of dollars flowing into the scheme, most of them from private charitable works. Bill Gates has been an early supporter, and Tech and Fintech Industries have accumulated since then. But we have never imagined that the UK government itself will lead the charge to almost recognized globally as the most dangerous kind of research and destabilization: field experiences that risk developing dangerous technology and crafting the way to publish. This is an exact focus such as the UK Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) Prepare to deliver $ 58 million for research and development in the field of solar engineering. The outdoor experiment is so controversial task that the Simons Foundation, which funds research in solar geological engineering, has moved away from granting grants in this field.
Aria, with a preliminary budget of 800 million pounds, grew up from Dominic Kamings, portable dreamers at the height of Boris Johnson’s capital years. After a A rock start for the officeThe Kamings ‘legacy lives in the current workers’ government, which seems to have lost the path of what Arya is doing. Aria, cloning wishing to the American Defense Projects Agency (DARPA), works in the dark. It is not subject to requests for freedom of information. It gives a degree of money to each of its managers (often inexperienced), to significantly direct spending as they wish, with the minimum peer review. The director in charge of the solar geological engineering project is Mark Sims, who is an electrochemical world without a background in climate science.
Ironically, Aria funds a project not only a waste of money but is effectively harmful, while Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, is searching for places to reduce government expenditures. Certainly, this project should be considered the low fruit of the sharp Reevis scissors.
Aria program The thesis document On “cooling the ground” makes the reading chilling. The project goes to all the supposed need for field experiences, without providing a case stating that such experiences can answer any of the really important questions about what will happen with a continuous global publication. Experiments are described as a “small scale” is a little rest, because even small experiments on a large scale risk developing technology that someone else may use (think about Musk, Trump or Putin) to spread widely. (Adam McCai movie Do not look Hakaf brilliantly The existential threat of blogging is similar to geological musk).
There is a severe risk of launching such field trials in an environment with no national or international governance. The only governance is the one imposed by the ARIA managers, who are mainly responsible for anyone. Worse, Aria can finance projects outside the United Kingdom, which calls for shopping for bad environmental regulations and limited opportunities for general protest. Providing government financing for Rubicon’s crossing to outdoor experimentation will inevitably add the legal character to such programs, which opens the gates for more money to flow to the development of geological engineering technology all over the world. As soon as the concerned engineers, as they do, do not definitely realize that “small” experiments do not really answer any of the important questions, there will be a demand for permanent experiences, which puts us on a slippery slope to the publication on a large scale.
The Aria GeoenGineering is a dangerous work that must be done to achieve clear carbon dioxide emissions. The net goal is a goal designated in the UK, a goal that the work government supports to adhere to. The UK government should not encourage false solutions such as solar geological engineering and the UK people should not defend it.
Arya is already evaluating the proposals for its dangerous project. It was not too late after this tyrant stopped, but to do this, he will require a strong recovery that begins now.
