Ja, die Governance-Frage hat durch die ansonsten anscheinend eher überbewerteten "Testballone" von #MakeSunsets Auftrieb erhalten.

Make Sunsets plans to launch three balloon test launches releasing sulfur dioxide to cool the atmosphere in January from the land Iseman owns in Baja, Mexico.

#Climate scientists who have been involved with solar #geoengineering for a long time say the #MakeSunsets balloon launches are not going to generate productive research and that the field needs to be governed by an international body.

Une startup américaine, #MakeSunsets, affirme avoir opéré des lâchers de particules fines dans l’atmosphère depuis le Mexique – dans l’espoir de modifier le #climat. @PresseCitron https://www.presse-citron.net/cette-startup-franchit-une-ligne-rouge-en-modifiant-le-climat/

Geoengineering: Start-up hat angeblich mit Freisetzung von Partikeln begonnen

Schwefeldioxid in oberen Atmosphärenschichten könnte genug Sonne reflektieren, um die Klimaerwärmung zu unterbrechen. Ein Start-up hat nun angeblich losgelegt.

The way this Isman person tries to justify his unilateral decision on #geoengineering with moral reasons is just so ridiculously sociopathic: seeing that he registered his new company #MakeSunsets in #Delaware, the U.S.' onshore #TaxHaven, it's clear to everyone from the get-go how he has NOT in mind to save all living beings or civilisation. He seeks to increase his own advantage, a) by withholding money used for the common good or b) by reducing ºC during his own lifetime.

"“It's morally wrong, in my opinion, for us not to be doing this — and to do this as quickly and safely as we can,” he says."
Uhugh.

He founded his company #MakeSunsets in September in Delaware, the U.S. onshore tax haven https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_de/7059787

Morally mature, Mr. Iseman #geoengineering

Sickening.

According to Hauschild's 2017 #sustainability bible
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212827116314329
this biz model and company should never have been allowed to be founded.

@jtemple
Thanks for the article!

#MakeSunsets is a Delaware company, of course https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_de/7059787

The whole world is doomed because the stupid, decadent US Americans allow every sociopath to ruin it for all of us in order to comply with their effin "free market" ideology.

Iseman's #geoengineering company is like Musk's #Starlink, while more harmful than merely creating #spacejunk and destroying astrophotography. Both are sociopaths, obviously, and the US Americans let them lose on us.
