Rejected petition Stop Government geoengineering experiments to "dim the sun"

Stop the Government's planned £50 million project to "dim the sun" and making geoengineering of any kind illegal in the UK.

More details

On the 22.04.25, The Telegraph reported that: "Experiments to dim sunlight to fight global warming will be given the green light by the Government within weeks. Outdoor field trials could include injecting aerosols into the atmosphere, or brightening clouds to reflect sunshine, are being considered by scientists. Aria, the Government’s advanced research and invention funding agency, has set aside £50 million for projects."

We want to stop this and make geoengineering illegal in the UK.
