Small-scale experiments like this one therefore tend to serve as technology development.
Deployed at scale, Marine Cloud Brightening would not reverse the climate crisis but create a different climate change potentially exacerbating droughts, hurricanes, and flooding far from the deployment site. It would also result in increased and uncontrollable salt deposition on land and in waterways, corroding infrastructure and harming agriculture, while the use of huge volumes of seawater would kill substantial marine life with cascading impacts on ocean food chains, fisheries, and coastal communities.
While this is a local decision, it has far reaching consequences since the experiment risks legitimizing this highly speculative and harmful technology and everyone on the planet could be affected by large scale deployment.
You may already be aware that governments around the world have agreed to a global moratorium on geoengineering and are moving to introduce more restrictive regulations for marine geoengineering. Many civil society organizations around the world have called for an end to marine geoengineering experiments.

Dear Councilmember Herrera Spencer,
I'm writing to you to ask you to prevent the highly contentious geoengineering experiment planned for the Bay Area from going ahead, when you meet to discuss the proposal on 4 June.
The experiment aims to test technology that would advance Marine Cloud Brightening -- a form of solar radiation modification that involves spraying saltwater particles into the air to thicken or brighten clouds, theoretically increasing their reflectivity and partially blocking the sun's rays.
Deploying Marine Cloud Brightening at scale would bring a host of new environmental and social impacts, potentially putting billions of peoples' human rights at risk. Like all geoengineering techniques, it is impossible to test for its intended climate impact without large-scale deployment, which would lock in any harmful consequences.

Please stop the controversial geoengineering experiment planned for the Bay Area. These folks have no idea of what they're doing.
The experiment is a test that MIGHT create Marine Cloud Brightening -- a form of solar radiation modification that involves spraying saltwater particles into the air to thicken or brighten clouds, theoretically increasing their reflectivity and partially blocking the sun's rays.
And we have NO IDEA of its consequences.

I'm writing to you to ask you to prevent the highly contentious geoengineering experiment planned for the Bay Area from going ahead, when you meet to discuss the proposal on 4 June.
The experiment aims to test technology that would advance Marine Cloud Brightening -- a form of solar radiation modification that involves spraying saltwater particles into the air to thicken or brighten clouds, theoretically increasing their reflectivity and partially blocking the sun's rays.
Deploying Marine Cloud Brightening at scale would bring a host of new environmental and social impacts, potentially putting billions of peoples' human rights at risk. Like all geoengineering techniques, it is impossible to test for its intended climate impact without large-scale deployment, which would lock in any harmful consequences.
Small-scale experiments like this one therefore tend to serve as technology development.
Deployed at scale, Marine Cloud Brightening would not reverse the climate crisis but create a different climate change potentially exacerbating droughts, hurricanes, and flooding far from the deployment site. It would also result in increased and uncontrollable salt deposition on land and in waterways, corroding infrastructure and harming agriculture, while the use of huge volumes of seawater would kill substantial marine life with cascading impacts on ocean food chains, fisheries, and coastal communities.
While this is a local decision, it has far reaching consequences since the experiment risks legitimizing this highly speculative and harmful technology and everyone on the planet could be affected by large scale deployment.
You may already be aware that governments around the world have agreed to a global moratorium on geoengineering and are moving to introduce more restrictive regulations for marine geoengineering. Many civil society organizations around the world have called for an end to marine geoengineering experiments.
https://www.geoengineeringmonitor.org/2024/05/marine-geoegineering-statement/ As a citizen of California, I strongly urge you to consider the wider consequences of this project when you discuss the matter on June 4, and do the right thing by acting to ensure the experiment cannot go ahead.

Dear Councilmember Herrera Spencer,
I'm writing to you to ask you to prevent the highly contentious geoengineering experiment planned for the Bay Area from going ahead, when you meet to discuss the proposal on 4 June.
The experiment aims to test technology that would advance Marine Cloud Brightening -- a form of solar radiation modification that involves spraying saltwater particles into the air to thicken or brighten clouds, theoretically increasing their reflectivity and partially blocking the sun's rays.
Deploying Marine Cloud Brightening at scale would bring a host of new environmental and social impacts, potentially putting billions of peoples' human rights at risk. Like all geoengineering techniques, it is impossible to test for its intended climate impact without large-scale deployment, which would lock in any harmful consequences.
Small-scale experiments like this one therefore tend to serve as technology development.
Deployed at scale, Marine Cloud Brightening would not reverse the climate crisis but create a different climate change potentially exacerbating droughts, hurricanes, and flooding far from the deployment site. It would also result in increased and uncontrollable salt deposition on land and in waterways, corroding infrastructure and harming agriculture, while the use of huge volumes of seawater would kill substantial marine life with cascading impacts on ocean food chains, fisheries, and coastal communities.
While this is a local decision, it has far reaching consequences since the experiment risks legitimizing this highly speculative and harmful technology and everyone on the planet could be affected by large scale deployment.
You may already be aware that governments around the world have agreed to a global moratorium on geoengineering and are moving to introduce more restrictive regulations for marine geoengineering. Many civil society organizations around the world have called for an end to marine geoengineering experiments.
https://www.geoengineeringmonitor.org/2024/05/marine-geoegineering-statement/ As a citizen of California, I strongly urge you to consider the wider consequences of this project when you discuss the matter on June 4, and do the right thing by acting to ensure the experiment cannot go ahead.

Citizens of this State are not here to be experimental rats. There are those who are not aware of geoengineering and the dangers and as such, you are violating the human rights of these citizens. The citizens of California have not been asked for THEIR approval of geoengineering. I resent that experiments are being conducted without my knowledge and/or consent. When you vote no, you are actually voting for the greater good. You are voting for the health and safety of the citizens and respecting their human rights.

The experiment aims to test technology that would advance Marine Cloud Brightening -- a form of solar radiation modification that involves spraying saltwater particles into the air to thicken or brighten clouds, theoretically increasing their reflectivity and partially blocking the sun's rays.
Deploying Marine Cloud Brightening at scale would bring a host of new environmental and social impacts, potentially putting billions of peoples' human rights at risk. Like all geoengineering techniques, it is impossible to test for its intended climate impact without large-scale deployment, which would lock in any harmful consequences.
Small-scale experiments like this one therefore tend to serve as technology development.
Deployed at scale, Marine Cloud Brightening would not reverse the climate crisis but create a different climate change potentially exacerbating droughts, hurricanes, and flooding far from the deployment site. It would also result in increased and uncontrollable salt deposition on land and in waterways, corroding infrastructure and harming agriculture, while the use of huge volumes of seawater would kill substantial marine life with cascading impacts on ocean food chains, fisheries, and coastal communities.
While this is a local decision, it has far reaching consequences since the experiment risks legitimizing this highly speculative and harmful technology and everyone on the planet could be affected by large scale deployment.
You may already be aware that governments around the world have agreed to a global moratorium on geoengineering and are moving to introduce more restrictive regulations for marine geoengineering. Many civil society organizations around the world have called for an end to marine geoengineering experiments.
https://www.geoengineeringmonitor.org/2024/05/marine-geoegineering-statement/ As a citizen of California, I strongly urge you to consider the wider consequences of this project when you discuss the matter on June 4, and do the right thing by acting to ensure the experiment cannot go ahead.

Dear Councilmember Herrera Spencer,
I'm writing to you to ask you to prevent the highly contentious geoengineering experiment planned for the Bay Area from going ahead, when you meet to discuss the proposal on 4 June.
The experiment aims to test technology that would advance Marine Cloud Brightening -- a form of solar radiation modification that involves spraying saltwater particles into the air to thicken or brighten clouds, theoretically increasing their reflectivity and partially blocking the sun's rays.
Deploying Marine Cloud Brightening at scale would bring a host of new environmental and social impacts, potentially putting billions of peoples' human rights at risk. Like all geoengineering techniques, it is impossible to test for its intended climate impact without large-scale deployment, which would lock in any harmful consequences.
Small-scale experiments like this one therefore tend to serve as technology development.
Deployed at scale, Marine Cloud Brightening would not reverse the climate crisis but create a different climate change potentially exacerbating droughts, hurricanes, and flooding far from the deployment site. It would also result in increased and uncontrollable salt deposition on land and in waterways, corroding infrastructure and harming agriculture, while the use of huge volumes of seawater would kill substantial marine life with cascading impacts on ocean food chains, fisheries, and coastal communities.
While this is a local decision, it has far reaching consequences since the experiment risks legitimizing this highly speculative and harmful technology and everyone on the planet could be affected by large scale deployment.
You may already be aware that governments around the world have agreed to a global moratorium on geoengineering and are moving to introduce more restrictive regulations for marine geoengineering. Many civil society organizations around the world have called for an end to marine geoengineering experiments.
https://www.geoengineeringmonitor.org/2024/05/marine-geoegineering-statement/ As a citizen of California, I strongly urge you to consider the wider consequences of this project when you discuss the matter on June 4, and do the right thing by acting to ensure the experiment cannot go ahead.

Dear Councilmember Herrera Spencer,
I'm writing to you to ask you to prevent the highly contentious geoengineering experiment planned for the Bay Area from going ahead, when you meet to discuss the proposal on 4 June.
The experiment aims to test technology that would advance Marine Cloud Brightening -- a form of solar radiation modification that involves spraying saltwater particles into the air to thicken or brighten clouds, theoretically increasing their reflectivity and partially blocking the sun's rays.
Deploying Marine Cloud Brightening at scale would bring a host of new environmental and social impacts, potentially putting billions of peoples' human rights at risk. Like all geoengineering techniques, it is impossible to test for its intended climate impact without large-scale deployment, which would lock in any harmful consequences.
Small-scale experiments like this one therefore tend to serve as technology development.
Deployed at scale, Marine Cloud Brightening would not reverse the climate crisis but create a different climate change potentially exacerbating droughts, hurricanes, and flooding far from the deployment site. It would also result in increased and uncontrollable salt deposition on land and in waterways, corroding infrastructure and harming agriculture, while the use of huge volumes of seawater would kill substantial marine life with cascading impacts on ocean food chains, fisheries, and coastal communities.
While this is a local decision, it has far reaching consequences since the experiment risks legitimizing this highly speculative and harmful technology and everyone on the planet could be affected by large scale deployment.
You may already be aware that governments around the world have agreed to a global moratorium on geoengineering and are moving to introduce more restrictive regulations for marine geoengineering. Many civil society organizations around the world have called for an end to marine geoengineering experiments.
https://www.geoengineeringmonitor.org/2024/05/marine-geoegineering-statement/ As a citizen of California, I strongly urge you to consider the wider consequences of this project when you discuss the matter on June 4, and do the right thing by acting to ensure the experiment cannot go ahead.

You may already be aware that governments around the world have agreed to a global moratorium on geoengineering and are moving to introduce more restrictive regulations for marine geoengineering. Many civil society organizations around the world have called for an end to marine geoengineering experiments.

Dear Councilmember Herrera Spencer,
I'm writing to you to ask you to prevent the highly contentious geoengineering experiment planned for the Bay Area from going ahead, when you meet to discuss the proposal on 4 June.
The experiment aims to test technology that would advance Marine Cloud Brightening -- a form of solar radiation modification that involves spraying saltwater particles into the air to thicken or brighten clouds, theoretically increasing their reflectivity and partially blocking the sun's rays.
Deploying Marine Cloud Brightening at scale would bring a host of new environmental and social impacts, potentially putting billions of peoples' human rights at risk. Like all geoengineering techniques, it is impossible to test for its intended climate impact without large-scale deployment, which would lock in any harmful consequences.
Small-scale experiments like this one therefore tend to serve as technology development.
Deployed at scale, Marine Cloud Brightening would not reverse the climate crisis but create a different climate change potentially exacerbating droughts, hurricanes, and flooding far from the deployment site. It would also result in increased and uncontrollable salt deposition on land and in waterways, corroding infrastructure and harming agriculture, while the use of huge volumes of seawater would kill substantial marine life with cascading impacts on ocean food chains, fisheries, and coastal communities.
While this is a local decision, it has far reaching consequences since the experiment risks legitimizing this highly speculative and harmful technology and everyone on the planet could be affected by large scale deployment.

Like all geoengineering techniques, it is impossible to test for its intended climate impact without large-scale deployment, which would lock in any harmful consequences.
Small-scale experiments like this one therefore tend to serve as technology development.
Deployed at scale, Marine Cloud Brightening would not reverse the climate crisis but create a different climate change potentially exacerbating droughts, hurricanes, and flooding far from the deployment site. It would also result in increased and uncontrollable salt deposition on land and in waterways, corroding infrastructure and harming agriculture, while the use of huge volumes of seawater would kill substantial marine life with cascading impacts on ocean food chains, fisheries, and coastal communities.
While this is a local decision, it has far reaching consequences since the experiment risks legitimizing this highly speculative and harmful technology and everyone on the planet could be affected by large scale deployment.
You may already be aware that governments around the world have agreed to a global moratorium on geoengineering and are moving to introduce more restrictive regulations for marine geoengineering. Many civil society organizations around the world have called for an end to marine geoengineering experiments.
https://www.geoengineeringmonitor.org/2024/05/marine-geoegineering-statement/ As a citizen of California, I strongly urge you to consider the wider consequences of this project when you discuss the matter on June 4, and do the right thing by acting to ensure the experiment cannot go ahead.

Dear Councilmember Herrera Spencer,
I'm writing to you to ask you to prevent the highly contentious geoengineering experiment planned for the Bay Area from going ahead, when you meet to discuss the proposal on 4 June.
The experiment aims to test technology that would advance Marine Cloud Brightening -- a form of solar radiation modification that involves spraying saltwater particles into the air to thicken or brighten clouds, theoretically increasing their reflectivity and partially blocking the sun's rays.
Deploying Marine Cloud Brightening at scale would bring a host of new environmental and social impacts, potentially putting billions of peoples' human rights at risk. Like all geoengineering techniques, it is impossible to test for its intended climate impact without large-scale deployment, which would lock in any harmful consequences.
Small-scale experiments like this one therefore tend to serve as technology development.
Deployed at scale, Marine Cloud Brightening would not reverse the climate crisis but create a different climate change potentially exacerbating droughts, hurricanes, and flooding far from the deployment site. It would also result in increased and uncontrollable salt deposition on land and in waterways, corroding infrastructure and harming agriculture, while the use of huge volumes of seawater would kill substantial marine life with cascading impacts on ocean food chains, fisheries, and coastal communities.
While this is a local decision, it has far reaching consequences since the experiment risks legitimizing this highly speculative and harmful technology and everyone on the planet could be affected by large scale deployment.
You may already be aware that governments around the world have agreed to a global moratorium on geoengineering and are moving to introduce more restrictive regulations for marine geoengineering. Many civil society organizations around the world have called for an end to marine geoengineering experiments.
https://www.geoengineeringmonitor.org/2024/05/marine-geoegineering-statement/ As a citizen of California, I strongly urge you to consider the wider consequences of this project when you discuss the matter on June 4, and do the right thing by acting to ensure the experiment cannot go ahead.

Dear Councilmember Herrera Spencer,
I'm writing to you to ask you to prevent the highly contentious geoengineering experiment planned for the Bay Area from going ahead, when you meet to discuss the proposal on 4 June.
The experiment aims to test technology that would advance Marine Cloud Brightening -- a form of solar radiation modification that involves spraying saltwater particles into the air to thicken or brighten clouds, theoretically increasing their reflectivity and partially blocking the sun's rays.
Deploying Marine Cloud Brightening at scale would bring a host of new environmental and social impacts, potentially putting billions of peoples' human rights at risk. Like all geoengineering techniques, it is impossible to test for its intended climate impact without large-scale deployment, which would lock in any harmful consequences.
Small-scale experiments like this one therefore tend to serve as technology development.
Deployed at scale, Marine Cloud Brightening would not reverse the climate crisis but create a different climate change potentially exacerbating droughts, hurricanes, and flooding far from the deployment site. It would also result in increased and uncontrollable salt deposition on land and in waterways, corroding infrastructure and harming agriculture, while the use of huge volumes of seawater would kill substantial marine life with cascading impacts on ocean food chains, fisheries, and coastal communities.
While this is a local decision, it has far reaching consequences since the experiment risks legitimizing this highly speculative and harmful technology and everyone on the planet could be affected by large scale deployment.
You may already be aware that governments around the world have agreed to a global moratorium on geoengineering and are moving to introduce more restrictive regulations for marine geoengineering. Many civil society organizations around the world have called for an end to marine geoengineering experiments.
https://www.geoengineeringmonitor.org/2024/05/marine-geoegineering-statement/ As a citizen of California, I strongly urge you to consider the wider consequences of this project when you discuss the matter on June 4, and do the right thing by acting to ensure the experiment cannot go ahead.

Dear Councilmember Herrera Spencer,
I'm writing to you to ask you to prevent the highly contentious geoengineering experiment planned for the Bay Area from going ahead, when you meet to discuss the proposal on 4 June.
The experiment aims to test technology that would advance Marine Cloud Brightening -- a form of solar radiation modification that involves spraying saltwater particles into the air to thicken or brighten clouds, theoretically increasing their reflectivity and partially blocking the sun's rays.
Deploying Marine Cloud Brightening at scale would bring a host of new environmental and social impacts, potentially putting billions of peoples' human rights at risk. Like all geoengineering techniques, it is impossible to test for its intended climate impact without large-scale deployment, which would lock in any harmful consequences.
Small-scale experiments like this one therefore tend to serve as technology development.
Deployed at scale, Marine Cloud Brightening would not reverse the climate crisis but create a different climate change potentially exacerbating droughts, hurricanes, and flooding far from the deployment site. It would also result in increased and uncontrollable salt deposition on land and in waterways, corroding infrastructure and harming agriculture, while the use of huge volumes of seawater would kill substantial marine life with cascading impacts on ocean food chains, fisheries, and coastal communities.
While this is a local decision, it has far reaching consequences since the experiment risks legitimizing this highly speculative and harmful technology and everyone on the planet could be affected by large scale deployment.

Deployed at scale, Marine Cloud Brightening would not reverse the climate crisis but create a different climate change potentially exacerbating droughts, hurricanes, and flooding far from the deployment site. It would also result in increased and uncontrollable salt deposition on land and in waterways, corroding infrastructure and harming agriculture, while the use of huge volumes of seawater would kill substantial marine life with cascading impacts on ocean food chains, fisheries, and coastal communities.
While this is a local decision, it has far reaching consequences since the experiment risks legitimizing this highly speculative and harmful technology and everyone on the planet could be affected by large scale deployment.
You may already be aware that governments around the world have agreed to a global moratorium on geoengineering and are moving to introduce more restrictive regulations for marine geoengineering. Many civil society organizations around the world have called for an end to marine geoengineering experiments.
https://www.geoengineeringmonitor.org/2024/05/marine-geoegineering-statement/ As a citizen of California, I strongly urge you to consider the wider consequences of this project when you discuss the matter on June 4, and do the right thing by acting to ensure the experiment cannot go ahead.

Dear Councilmember Herrera Spencer,
I'm writing to you to ask you to prevent the highly contentious geoengineering experiment planned for the Bay Area from going ahead, when you meet to discuss the proposal on 4 June.
The experiment aims to test technology that would advance Marine Cloud Brightening -- a form of solar radiation modification that involves spraying saltwater particles into the air to thicken or brighten clouds, theoretically increasing their reflectivity and partially blocking the sun's rays.
Deploying Marine Cloud Brightening at scale would bring a host of new environmental and social impacts, potentially putting billions of peoples' human rights at risk. Like all geoengineering techniques, it is impossible to test for its intended climate impact without large-scale deployment, which would lock in any harmful consequences.

The experiment aims to test technology that would advance Marine Cloud Brightening -- a form of solar radiation modification that involves spraying saltwater particles into the air to thicken or brighten clouds, theoretically increasing their reflectivity and partially blocking the sun's rays.
Deploying Marine Cloud Brightening at scale would bring a host of new environmental and social impacts, potentially putting billions of peoples' human rights at risk. Like all geoengineering techniques, it is impossible to test for its intended climate impact without large-scale deployment, which would lock in any harmful consequences.
Small-scale experiments like this one therefore tend to serve as technology development.
Deployed at scale, Marine Cloud Brightening would not reverse the climate crisis but create a different climate change potentially exacerbating droughts, hurricanes, and flooding far from the deployment site. It would also result in increased and uncontrollable salt deposition on land and in waterways, corroding infrastructure and harming agriculture, while the use of huge volumes of seawater would kill substantial marine life with cascading impacts on ocean food chains, fisheries, and coastal communities.
While this is a local decision, it has far reaching consequences since the experiment risks legitimizing this highly speculative and harmful technology and everyone on the planet could be affected by large scale deployment.
You may already be aware that governments around the world have agreed to a global moratorium on geoengineering and are moving to introduce more restrictive regulations for marine geoengineering. Many civil society organizations around the world have called for an end to marine geoengineering experiments.
https://www.geoengineeringmonitor.org/2024/05/marine-geoegineering-statement/ As a citizen of California, I strongly urge you to consider the wider consequences of this project when you discuss the matter on June 4, and do the right thing by acting to ensure the experiment cannot go ahead.

Dear Councilmember Herrera Spencer,
I'm writing to you to ask you to prevent the highly contentious geoengineering experiment planned for the Bay Area from going ahead, when you meet to discuss the proposal on 4 June.
The experiment aims to test technology that would advance Marine Cloud Brightening -- a form of solar radiation modification that involves spraying saltwater particles into the air to thicken or brighten clouds, theoretically increasing their reflectivity and partially blocking the sun's rays.
Deploying Marine Cloud Brightening at scale would bring a host of new environmental and social impacts, potentially putting billions of peoples' human rights at risk. Like all geoengineering techniques, it is impossible to test for its intended climate impact without large-scale deployment, which would lock in any harmful consequences.
Small-scale experiments like this one therefore tend to serve as technology development.
Deployed at scale, Marine Cloud Brightening would not reverse the climate crisis but create a different climate change potentially exacerbating droughts, hurricanes, and flooding far from the deployment site. It would also result in increased and uncontrollable salt deposition on land and in waterways, corroding infrastructure and harming agriculture, while the use of huge volumes of seawater would kill substantial marine life with cascading impacts on ocean food chains, fisheries, and coastal communities.
While this is a local decision, it has far reaching consequences since the experiment risks legitimizing this highly speculative and harmful technology and everyone on the planet could be affected by large scale deployment.
You may already be aware that governments around the world have agreed to a global moratorium on geoengineering and are moving to introduce more restrictive regulations for marine geoengineering. Many civil society organizations around the world have called for an end to marine geoengineering experiments.
https://www.geoengineeringmonitor.org/2024/05/marine-geoegineering-statement/ As a citizen of California, I strongly urge you to consider the wider consequences of this project when you discuss the matter on June 4, and do the right thing by acting to ensure the experiment cannot go ahead.

Dear Councilmember Herrera Spencer,
I'm writing to you to ask you to prevent the highly contentious geoengineering experiment planned for the Bay Area from going ahead, when you meet to discuss the proposal on 4 June.
The experiment aims to test technology that would advance Marine Cloud Brightening -- a form of solar radiation modification that involves spraying saltwater particles into the air to thicken or brighten clouds, theoretically increasing their reflectivity and partially blocking the sun's rays.
Deploying Marine Cloud Brightening at scale would bring a host of new environmental and social impacts, potentially putting billions of peoples' human rights at risk. Like all geoengineering techniques, it is impossible to test for its intended climate impact without large-scale deployment, which would lock in any harmful consequences.
Small-scale experiments like this one therefore tend to serve as technology development.
Deployed at scale, Marine Cloud Brightening would not reverse the climate crisis but create a different climate change potentially exacerbating droughts, hurricanes, and flooding far from the deployment site. It would also result in increased and uncontrollable salt deposition on land and in waterways, corroding infrastructure and harming agriculture, while the use of huge volumes of seawater would kill substantial marine life with cascading impacts on ocean food chains, fisheries, and coastal communities.
While this is a local decision, it has far reaching consequences since the experiment risks legitimizing this highly speculative and harmful technology and everyone on the planet could be affected by large scale deployment.
You may already be aware that governments around the world have agreed to a global moratorium on geoengineering and are moving to introduce more restrictive regulations for marine geoengineering. Many civil society organizations around the world have called for an end to marine geoengineering experiments.
https://www.geoengineeringmonitor.org/2024/05/marine-geoegineering-statement/ As a citizen of California, I strongly urge you to consider the wider consequences of this project when you discuss the matter on June 4, and do the right thing by acting to ensure the experiment cannot go ahead.

Dear Councilmember Herrera Spencer,
I'm writing to you to ask you to prevent the highly contentious geoengineering experiment planned for the Bay Area from going ahead, when you meet to discuss the proposal on 4 June.
The experiment aims to test technology that would advance Marine Cloud Brightening -- a form of solar radiation modification that involves spraying saltwater particles into the air to thicken or brighten clouds, theoretically increasing their reflectivity and partially blocking the sun's rays.
Deploying Marine Cloud Brightening at scale would bring a host of new environmental and social impacts, potentially putting billions of peoples' human rights at risk. Like all geoengineering techniques, it is impossible to test for its intended climate impact without large-scale deployment, which would lock in any harmful consequences.
Small-scale experiments like this one therefore tend to serve as technology development.
Deployed at scale, Marine Cloud Brightening would not reverse the climate crisis but create a different climate change potentially exacerbating droughts, hurricanes, and flooding far from the deployment site. It would also result in increased and uncontrollable salt deposition on land and in waterways, corroding infrastructure and harming agriculture, while the use of huge volumes of seawater would kill substantial marine life with cascading impacts on ocean food chains, fisheries, and coastal communities.
While this is a local decision, it has far reaching consequences since the experiment risks legitimizing this highly speculative and harmful technology and everyone on the planet could be affected by large scale deployment.
