Trump EPA targets two-man geoengineering startup for 'polluting the air' | TechCrunch
"Some argue geoengineering is the only solution given our delay in reducing carbon emissions, while others caution against manipulating the Earth’s climate further."
"Make Sunsets, a startup, is releasing balloons filled with sulfur dioxide to reflect sunlight; however, the long-term effects of this practice are uncertain."
The article discusses the controversial practice of geoengineering, specifically highlighting the startup Make Sunsets, which releases weather balloons filled with sulfur dioxide to cool the Earth. As reliance on fossil fuels persists, some view geoengineering as the only viable path to mitigate climate change. However, concerns remain about the unforeseen consequences of manipulating the atmosphere, particularly the potential for adverse effects on weather patterns and public health. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is scrutinizing these activities amid debates on their legitimacy and impact.
