Solar geoengineering: Expert testimonies urge global ban
09/20/2025 / By Willow Tohi



Experts urge a ban on solar geoengineering due to risks and uncertainties.

Pielke Jr. and Martz argue for prohibition; MacCracken supports cautious research.

Ozone depletion, altered precipitation, respiratory health impacts.

White House project explores methods to reduce sunlight; open letter from scientists.

Concerns about unregulated atmospheric experiments.


A recent hearing before the House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Delivering Government Efficiency has reignited discussions about solar geoengineering, particularly Solar Radiation Management (SRM) technology. While some proponents view SRM as a potential tool to combat global warming, others, including a growing number of experts, are increasingly skeptical of both the assumption of human-caused climate change and the efficacy and safety of geoengineering as a solution.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
