Sixty scientists from prominent institutions are advocating for rigorous study into reflecting sunlight away from the Earth to mitigate the effects of climate change.
None of the scientists are endorsing the strategy, which is sometimes referred to as “solar geoengineering” and could have significant negative side effects.
Rather, they are advocating for a careful and coordinated study of the idea before the effects of climate change become so obvious and urgent that citizens and governments demand action. They believe this could happen in the next 10 to 20 years given the current trajectory of CO2-reduction plans.
The scientists also emphasize that solar geoengineering is not a solution. Greenhouse gas emissions must be immediately and urgently reduced, as that’s the only permanent way to limit global warming.
The signatories come from prestigious institutions around the world, including Columbia University, Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and NASA. There is no organization or institution behind the letter, however. It was published as an independent effort by scientists.
Reflecting sunlight away from the Earth is possible and can work quickly. Given our collective global warming status, it’s time to take it seriously, the scientists argued.

This is so concerning that they should all do it for free - no charge.
Wow. That’s even more than the 51 experts who said Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation.
Stoopidus maximus has not been achieved yet. 🖕
>before the effects of climate change become so obvious
Why not wait until it becomes obvious before implementing a radical experiment?
Lets cool the planet, so food can’t grow. Brilliant!
SCAM! Dr up there with “just another two weeks....”
And once they spend all the money in their grant on prostitutes and booze, they will declare the science is settled. The idiot Gates will pay to implement. Once implemented, the earth will turn into a global iceberg.
The law of unintended consequences will rear its ugly head.
Develop this and then give total control to China. What could go wrong?
“Right up there with “just another two weeks.....”
Don't hold your breath.
Obviously this is the cumulative effect of all those solar energy panels sucking in that dangerous sunlight. All we have to do is scrap that dangerous solar energy stuff. Convert those panels to mirrors, problem solved. If I can get 59 more prestigious FReeper climatologists to agree we can urge the UN to study this world saving proposal.
We need to send these mental cases into retirement
Geez — Reflect it towards my house — I wouldn’t mind being able to use the pool another couple of months a year, and it’d be nice to keep the veggie/herb gardens growing year round!
60 scientists... There are more scientists than paralegals and colonels combined, working in Washinton DC. 60 is a very small number of scientists. Even if they are all political scientists, 60 is still a very small number.
Pretty sure all those plants they want us to live on require SUNLIGHT.
“None of the scientists are endorsing the strategy”
Because none of them wants to be ridiculed for suggesting something impossible to implement.
Yes 60 scientists ! Wow what is their degrees in., “women studies”?
They sure as heck don’t live in Minnesota a.k.a. Cold-ifornia.
This from the same geniuses that brought us CRT: block white people to save the species, block the sun to save the ‘erf.
