Cloud-brightening experiment halted on San Francisco Bay part of push for solar geoengineering solutions to climate change

Last month, the City of Alameda blocked scientists from continuing basic research into an experimental approach that may, one day, slow global warming.

The research was being done by atmospheric scientists from the University of Washington, and a nonprofit called SilverLining. SilverLining is funded by a consortium of philanthropic foundations and individual donors. Despite the researchers' credentials, the city council remained skeptical and voted unanimously to halt the work.

"We need to know more about this before you come to our city and start these experiments," concluded Alameda Mayor Marilyn Ezzy Ashcraft.

Marine cloud brightening is a scalable potentially majorly helpful mitigation strategy to keep us from going completely off the tipping points rails and this dip shit city council said you can't do research because you haven't done enough research
