Well, it looks like the British government is preparing to go full James Bond villain, and no, this isn’t satire. Reports say they’re just weeks away from approving outdoor experiments designed to dim the sun. Actual taxpayer-funded efforts to block sunlight in order to “save the planet” from climate change. If this sounds like the plot of a bad dystopian sci-fi film, that’s because it is. Except in this case, it’s real—and it’s being pushed as “science.”
The plan involves a trio of Frankenstein-esque methods under the umbrella term “Sunlight Reflection Methods” (SRM). First, we’ve got Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI), which basically means shooting fine particles into the upper atmosphere to bounce sunlight back into space. Sounds totally safe, right? What could go wrong with tampering with Earth’s natural climate system on a global scale?
Then there’s Marine Cloud Brightening (MCB), where sea salt particles are sprayed into the air to supposedly make clouds more reflective. Because if you can’t control emissions, hey, let’s just mess with the clouds instead.
All of this is backed by Aria, the UK’s new “high-risk” government science agency—think DARPA, but with more fog and accents. They’ve earmarked £50 million for these experiments. That’s right, while British families are being crushed under the weight of inflation and energy costs (thanks in no small part to Net Zero lunacy), the government is throwing millions at experiments straight out of a Marvel villain’s playbook.
Professor Mark Symes, who’s leading this effort, assures the public that these tests will be “safe by design.” Oh great, because the scientists promising that are the same ones who told us “two weeks to flatten the curve.” Forgive the skepticism, but when the so-called experts start monkeying with planetary systems, a little healthy doubt is warranted.
Let’s be honest: this isn’t about saving the Earth—it’s about clinging to a failing climate narrative. The climate cult knows their scare tactics are losing traction, so they’re doubling down with mad science and PR spin. Meanwhile, legitimate scientists warning about the dangers of such geoengineering are shouted down or ignored.
Maybe instead of blocking the sun, governments should focus on real solutions—like energy independence, innovation, and not handing over society to unelected climate bureaucrats. But that would require common sense, and clearly, that’s in shorter supply than sunlight in the UK.
