The European Union has initiated a €35 million project to research and coordinate efforts against unsanctioned attempts to alter the Earth's atmosphere by blocking out sunlight. This comes as temperatures approach critical thresholds, raising concerns about potential rogue climate intervention experiments. The EU’s Horizon Europe program aims to address Solar Radiation Modification technology, which could be used to cool the planet but is controversial due to its risks and lack of regulation.

Story summary
Rising global temperatures have sparked concerns about unauthorized attempts by governments or private entities to alter the Earth's atmosphere. To address these worries, the European Union has allocated €35 million (US$39.4 million) through its Horizon Europe program to fund research and coordination aimed at detecting rogue efforts to block out the sun. This initiative is part of an early-stage effort to manage so-called Solar Radiation Modification technology, which could be used to cool the planet if temperatures reach critical levels. A recent United Nations report warned that global temperatures are likely to surpass the crucial 1.5 degrees Celsius threshold above pre-industrial levels in the near future and could increase to as high as 2.6 degrees without policy changes. Climate change impacts, including wildfires, droughts, hurricanes, and severe floods, are already occurring with increased frequency.

Rising temperatures are sparking fears that governments or private actors could launch unsanctioned experiments to try and alter the climate
The European Union has launched a €35 million (US$39.4 million) tender to fund research and coordination on, among other things, detecting rogue efforts to alter the Earth’s atmosphere by blocking out the sun.

The EU’s Horizon Europe arm, which funds research and innovation, launched the call for projects on Tuesday as part of an early stage effort to coordinate action on so-called Solar Radiation Modification, a nascent and controversial technology that could be used to cool the planet should temperatures rise to critical tipping points.

In a report last month, the UN warned that global temperatures are set to cross the key 1.5 degrees Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) threshold above pre-industrial levels within the next few years, and could climb as high as 2.6 degrees without changes to current policies.
