Geoengineering experiments, Solar radiation management (SRM) It’s called daylight robbery Experiments to dim the Sun will be approved within weeks https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/04/22/experiments-to-dim-the-sun-get-green-light/ Experiments to 'dim the Sun' to be given green light by UK government https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/uk-news/experiments-dim-sun-given-green-31495956 https://theweek.com/environment/why-uk-scientists-are-trying-to-dim-the-sun https://www.newsweek.com/experiment-dim-sun-uk-sparks-alarm-2063537 I do not consent I am worried about national and global food supply If food supply is controlled then we are controlled All food chains start with photosynthesis Photosynthesis depends on sunlight (or artificial light) Photosynthesis takes CO2 out of the atmosphere Photosynthesis puts O2 into the atmosphere 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂. All life on Earth depends on photosynthesis (except deep ocean hot vents) Ecosystems require an energy input, complex interacting webs, plants, animals, insects, bacteria, fungi, viruses I would prefer ‘scientists’ not to mess about with my food and oxygen supply I am concerned about unexpected effects, butterfly effects, chaos effects, runaway effects. Biodiversity Accountability? Let’s plant trees, promote plant / animal ecology, farm seaweed and marine phytoplankton. Other risks Unforeseen chaotic effects Disruption of weather patterns, rainfall, monsoons, hurricanes, all leading to potential food shortage Uneven effects leading to regional drought and famine, geopolitical tensions Dose not address root problems, it’s a single feature intervention Starting and stopping effects Water cycle effects Unknown longer term effects, ozone layer, air quality, ecosystems Who decides UVB Disinfectant Vitamin D Re…
