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.
