British to start geoengineering

[BeyondKnowledge]

Why is it always "change reality" to suit humanity, rather than adapt to changing conditions? Scientists are so keen on manipulating the human body, why not help humans adapt to changing climate? Why not develop new tech to help us cope with higher temperature climates rather than trying to manipulate global weather? Figure out how agriculture can capitalize on the warming somehow, rather than relying on current corporate farming methods. What happened to American Innovation?

We're sorry. The questions you have ask are too logical for government to look into much less act on. Please try again when you have some questions or information that would not lead to solvimg this made up problem.

Thank you. This has not been a recording.

I don't know enough about GB.
Is this a good source?
Is the département they are quoting legit?

Britain to approve £50m Sun-dimming experiments in bid to prevent runaway climate change

Was really easy to find.

[DontTreadOnMe]

Why?

Why in the hell is this going to be allowed by other countries?  Hello?  This affects all of us!!!!

Yet again, IDIOTIC humans thinking we can "fix" this planet.

No need to worry about BS global warming, cooling, ect.

We are going to kill it, just to prove a point.


Come on, asteroid.

Pretty much said what I was thinking.
Foggy old England want to dim the sun and end civilization.....and take all of us with it.

Seems like a Bad Thing. What could possibly go wrong?

What could go right?

Programme spotlight: Exploring Climate CoolingClimate change could cause global temperatures to increase by several degrees by the end of the century, precipitating climate tipping points with serious and irreversible consequences.
 
While the only sustainable way to reduce the risk of such tipping events is through decarbonisation, the risk of crossing one or more tipping points in the near future has driven increased interest in approaches to actively reduce global temperatures in the shorter term.
 
By collecting critical and currently missing data, this programme will look to answer the fundamental scientific questions required to reach more definitive conclusions on whether any potential approaches for cooling the Earth could be feasible, scalable, or safe.

Bit of a heatwave here in the UK, forecast to peak on Thursday.

"Is UK weather getting hotter?A report by Climate Central , a climate research organisation, has found that all four seasons are warming but at different rates. The average spring temperature has increased by 1.8C since 1970 making it the fastest warming season for all four nations of the UK. Autumn is the second fastest at 1.6C."

Bloody weather....

I'm reading the scientists' programme thesis, very interesting.

5. Independent impact assessment. Post-experiment, the environmental and any
socio-economic impacts will be assessed by experts who are independent of the team
performing the outdoor experiments, and the results of these assessments will be made
publicly available. ARIA may also commission assessments of the broader implications of
the experiments as appropriate.

Here's another scientific program working alongside ARIA:

Research programme to model impact of solar radiation management

https://www.ukri.org/news/research-progr...anagement/

The programme will deliver cutting-edge environmental science via four themes, through modelling and laboratory work only. Outdoor deployments will not be supported.
