Rejected petition: Stop geoengineering experiments over the UK
Rejected on
Stop funding specific ARIA-backed geoengineering projects.
Implement a legal, preemptive ban on all outdoor field trials, not just deployment.
Enforce a mandatory public referendum for any outdoor geoengineering activity.
The last petition was ignored under the grounds that geoengineering was not officially ‘deployed’ in the UK however due to the nature of the project there is no safe way to experiment and test the technology under controlled conditions it must happen in the sky, this should have been a democratic decision via a public referendum. We are calling for the government to stop these experiments immediately due to concerns over public health, further eco systems damage and unpredictable consequences.
