The first test of a project backed to spray millions of tonnes of chalk into the stratosphere, in an attempt to 'dim the sun' and cool the Earth, could happen in June.
Harvard University experts will test the system by sending a large balloon 12 miles above the Swedish town of Kiruna and have it drop 2kg of chalk dust into the stratosphere.
The aim of the estimated $3 million mission, backed by billionaire Bill Gates, is to have the chalk deflect a portion of the sun's radiation, stop it from hitting the surface, and cool the planet.
The idea has been heavily criticised since its inception, with project director Frank Keutsch even calling the need for this scale of geo-engineering 'terrifying'.
And experts have warned that the unusual technique could be disastrous for weather systems in ways nobody can predict.
Backed by a range of private donors including Gates, the test mission is launching from Sweden as they could offer a launch by the end of this summer.

He is a lunatic and needs to be taken to the funny farm
Stupid. When Mount Pinatubo or Mount St. Helens erupted hurling thousands of tons of debris into the atmosphere, what was the temperature drop?
Roger that.
manmade global climate change.
Wait I thought man WASN’T supposed to change the climate!
>>How will warm weather BIOfuels grow?
Actually we are entering or in a solar minimum...and the temperatures do not warm...
Soo mr. brilliant billionaire is probably doing the worst thing possible...
Who has given this mad ‘scientist ‘ authority to destroy mankind and the world?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Same people that allowed him to become an expert on pandemics and vaccines...
I find it fascinating that given this latest ploy (which IMHO is the absolute worst possible choice/timing given we are entering/in a solar minimum that does not increase global temperature), anyone is trusting his COVID-19 or pro-vaccine information. Yet they do—even here.
He must want a real Ice Age !
It is interesting that he is now the largest agricultural land owner in US...and he wants to dim the sun? I don’t understand why he would do this unless he has developed cool-weather, shade varieties of every “full sun” plant...
And as I said, makes me wonder about his vaccine initiatives.
“He must want a real Ice Age!”
Gates wants human population reduction. Has said so.
The left hates bikinis?
