In the News
Geoengineering is making headlines as scientists, startups, governments, and critics debate deliberate large-scale interventions in Earth’s climate system. Ideas once limited to research papers—brightening marine clouds, injecting aerosols into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight, or accelerating carbon dioxide removal—are now entering real-world tests, funding talks, and policy debates.
Recent outdoor experiments, rising private investment, calls for governance or moratoriums, and public concerns about risks have kept the topic in the news. These approaches remain highly controversial: Expect continued coverage of research, regulations, and ethical questions.

In “The National Security Case for U.S. Leadership in SRM Technology,” China runs the world’s largest weather-mod program (5.5M km²) and scales SRM research under military-civil fusion. SRM is real. 36 U.S. states moved to ban it; FL, LA, TN passed laws. AI could enable precise climate weapons in months. No real governance exists. Unilateral use risks monsoons, agriculture collapse, and conflict. —George David Banks, ACCF CEO.
