Background

We believe neither the Government, nor anyone else, should be able to use technologies to intervene in the Earth’s natural systems. We want all forms of 'geo-engineering' on land, sea and air in the control to be banned with immediate effect.

Additional details

The Government has said 'geo-engineering' is essential to meet its climate targets: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/geo-engineering-research-the-government-s-view/uk-governments-view-on-greenhouse-gas-removal-technologies-and-solar-radiation-management#why-they-are-needed We want 'geo-engineering' to be banned as there has been no mandate given by the people to do this. Furthrmore there is robust evidence that it is causing existential environmental risks, damage to ecosystem, damage to biodiversity, increased harmful chemical air polutants, increase in risk of flooding and food shortages due to increasd cloud cover.
