Wealthy donors declared they will continue bankrolling efforts to alter the atmosphere to prevent climate change despite initial efforts being derailed by a skeptical public.
Politico reported this week that major groups connected to Wall Street and Silicon Valley have vowed to keep raising money to create innovations and technology that will limit global warming – including methods of brightening clouds to limit the amount of sunlight that enters the earth’s atmosphere.
"The Pritzker Innovation Fund believes in the importance of research that helps improve climate models and enables policymakers and the public to better understand whether climate interventions like marine cloud brightening are feasible and advisable," group founder and president Rachel Pritzker told the outlet about her group’s commitment to find climate solutions despite recent setbacks.
