UK government to approve geoengineering experiments to block sunlight in effort to curb climate change despite alarming risks
Critics warn that solar geoengineering poses a deadly threat to the ozone layer.
The U.K. is expected to give approval for solar geoengineering experiments to block sunlight in an effort to curb climate change despite uncertainty and alarming risks, according to multiple reports.
The Telegraph reported that geoengineering experiments conducted outside aimed at combating climate change are set to be carried out by the Advanced Research and Invention Agency and will be announced in the coming weeks.
The experiments are said to be one of the most expensive solar geoengineering projects in history.
In February 2021, the U.K. government announced the creation of the Advanced Research and Invention Agency, a self-described "independent research body to fund high-risk, high-reward scientific research." The agency will be led by "prominent, world-leading scientists who will be given the freedom to identify and fund transformational science and technology."
