The UK government plans to fund solar geoengineering experiments, totaling $66.5 million, to explore techniques like aerosol injection and cloud brightening as responses to climate change. This initiative positions the UK among the top funders of such research globally, contrasting with the US, where many projects have been halted. Scientists express urgency in investigating these methods due to concerns about reaching critical climate tipping points. Mark Symes, an ARIA director, emphasizes the need for tangible data to assess these geoengineering strategies' efficacy and safety.
The British government is set to approve solar geoengineering experiments, including aerosol injection and cloud brightening, to explore ways to combat climate change.
With a funding amount of $66.5 million, the UK is positioning itself as a leader in solar geoengineering research while the US faces shutdowns in similar projects.
