Último delirio ambientalista: Bill Gates quiere apagar el sol Gates usa el argumento del cambio climático para emitir nuevas declaraciones que estarían relacionadas con su intención de "apagar el sol".

El empresario reconoce que esta gestión de la radiación solar (SRM, por sus siglas en inglés) todavía no está lista para usarse y que su aplicación solo se justificaría como "último recurso". Sin embargo, su propuesta genera muchas preguntas panampost.com/oriana-rivas...

Frontiers | Safeguarding the polar regions from dangerous geoengineering: a critical assessment of proposed concepts and future prospects Fossil-fuel burning is heating the planet with catastrophic consequences for its habitability and for the natural world on which our existence depends. Halti...

New paper out today led by Martin Siegert with about 40 others where we argue that some of the proposed Polar #Geoengineering schemes for ice sheets, sea ice and solar radiation are potentially dangerous and unethical.

5 geoengineering ideas and why they will not save the poles Various geoengineering projects seek to mask or slow the impact of global warming at the poles, but do not hold up to scrutiny. Two scientists outline why.

👎 Stratospheric aerosol injection
👎 Sea curtains
👎 Sea ice management
👎 Basal water removal
👎 Ocean fertilization

None of these #geoengineering ideas can be relied upon to safeguard the poles—pursuing them risks distracting from the solutions we know will work www.weforum.org/stories/2025...

Now more than ever, we need to heed warnings about overshoot pathways & follow leadership of Africa & Pacific calling for non-use of solar geoengineering. We urge our movement partners around the world to join us at this critical moment in saying: ‘Hands Off Mother Earth, No to Geoengineering.’

Solar geoengineering for profit - Solar Geoengineering Non-Use Agreement Advocates of solar geoengineering are dismayed. But why are they surprised?

At #COP30 we're calling out #FalseSolutions for the dangerous distractions they are

"Carbon markets are a scam: they open the door for risky geoengineering experiments, fail to reduce emissions and harm communities. We must fight false solutions."

At #COP30, we’re seeing dangerous techno-fixes being positioned as “solutions” to climate & biodiversity crises. Carbon markets under Article 6 are opening doors to risky experiments to enter mainstream discourse.

‘Agribusiness exercises a tight grip over the Brazilian state, whether governed by the left or right, Lula or Bolsonaro. So it’s no surprise that this year’s COP is shaping up to be a monumental exercise in agro-greenwashing.’

Geoengineering is a Dangerous Distraction!

Trying to address climate change without phasing out fossil fuels is like plugging one leak while the boat is flooding from every direction — you can’t win if the source of the damage stays untouched.

You can’t reboot the planet if you crash it What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.

Gates has peddled a planetary “patch” for the climate crisis. He has financed for-profit schemes to implement #geoengineering… spraying massive amounts of sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere to block out sunlight and cool the planet. What could possibly go wrong? thebulletin.org/2025/10/you-...

An Israeli-American excuse for continuing to pump greenhouse gases ointo the atmosphere. #Geoengineering will get us or, rather, our children and their children, all killed.

🚨 Stardust Solutions, a US-Israeli start-up, plans to begin outdoor solar #geoengineering experiments as soon as April 2026, aiming for commercialisation and deployment this decade.
This accelerates a reckless race that threatens to put humanity on a path of no return.

Lots of talk about solar geoengineering (SRM) in climate circles over the past few days.

As you try to decide what you think about it, please keep two things in mind:

Letting Silicon Valley Geoengineer the Atmosphere Will End Badly We already have plenty of evidence of what happens when things better left to governments — which in this case might decide to never flip the switch at all — are ceded to private industry.

I can't emphasize this too much. Scientists who may be well intentioned and favor solar geoengineering research because "it's just research" and do not approve of deployment will not be the ones who decide whether to deploy whatever ... www.gravityisgone.com/letting-sili...
