Sun dimming experiments

Geoengineering experiments, Experiments to dim the Sun will be approved within weeks

Experiments to 'dim the Sun' to be given green light by UK government

Geoengineering watch

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.

Accountability

Lets plant trees, promote plant / animal ecology, farm seaweed and marine phytoplankton.

Other risks

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

Who decides

Unknown longer term effects, ozone layer, air quality, ecosystems
