Aside from some murmurs, nothing is really happening on the nuke front in the US.

The UK government is poised to approve experiments that seek ways to dim sunlight and deflect it away to fight “runaway climate change,” a report Wednesday claims.

Outdoor field trials which could include injecting aerosols into the atmosphere, or brightening clouds to reflect sunshine, are being considered by scientists as a way to prevent runaway climate change.

Aria, the Government’s advanced research and invention funding agency, has set aside £50 million for projects, which will be announced in the coming weeks.


Prof Mark Symes, the programme director for Aria (Advanced Research and Invention Agency), is reported by the Telegraph to have confirmed there will be, “small controlled outdoor experiments on particular approaches”.

“We will be announcing who we have given funding to in a few weeks and when we do so we will be making clear when any outdoor experiments might be taking place,” he said.

You would think that if you're researching something like making clouds more reflective...

...you wouldn't want to do that in Phoenix.

Various geoengineering efforts have been proposed and some experiments done, like seeding the oceans with iron.  Recently the fuel used by ocean tankers was changed to reduce sulfur content to reduce SO2 pollution and some think that has warmed the planet some.  The aerosols at high altitude reflect sunlight some.  Volcanic eruptions do this, and jet contrails have some impact.  There is talk about putting large metal foil in space to deflect sunlight to some "degree".

Analysis: How low-sulphur shipping rules are affecting global warming - Carbon Brief

Sulphur particles contained in ships’ exhaust fumes have been counteracting some of the warming coming from greenhouse gases. But lowering the sulphur content of marine fuel has weakened the masking effect, effectively giving a boost to warming.

Some researchers have proposed that the drop in SO2 as a result of the IMO’s clean air regulations could be behind a recent spike in global sea surface temperature.

We were driving to the airport in Phoenix and it rained on us, briefly.

Funny an old friend moved out there in November '22 as his wife has family there and one daughter attends ASU. Anyway a couple of other friends flew out there 3-4 weeks ago to visit and golf as all three are addicted duffers. So it was cold and wet the whole time but not before/after
