As the New York Times reports, the millennials behind a startup called Make Sunsets have raised $1 million in venture capital to send gigantic balloons filled with sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere.
'They are a couple of tech bros who have no expertise in doing what they're claiming to do,' explained Sikina Jinnah, a University of California Santa Cruz environmental science professor who's studied climate geoengineering schemes like the one undertaken by the startup.
Founded by Iseman and his fellow Y Combinator alum Andrew Song, the startup has gotten into the business of selling so-called 'carbon credits' to companies looking to offset their emissions via the experimental technology.
