Recently, Republican lawmakers in Tennessee, who rarely prioritize environmental issues, proposed a ban on an unproven method known as solar geoengineering, which puzzled many observers.
The idea of geoengineering, by injecting aerosols to mitigate climate effects, has been gaining traction among scientists. Yet, it's interesting to see resistance from an unlikely source.
While it seems paradoxical for far-right Republicans to introduce environmental bans, their bills share common language, indicating a coordinated effort against geoengineering's potential exploration.
The urgency of climate change has led to increased dialogue about geoengineering, but the political landscape shows unexpected opposition towards even theoretical methods of addressing it.
