Risky geoengineering experiments shouldn’t happen at all, no matter how carefully they’re framed as research or solutions.

⁉️As regulators move forward under SB 905 Bill (California 2022 carbon capture law), questions remain unanswered on issues of safety, accountability, long-term impacts, and who ultimately pays. #HandsOffMotherEarth #NoGeoengineering #NoFalseSolutions #NoDangerousDistractions #RealSolutions

🚨It’s a warning sign of how powerful actors are trying to normalise the idea that pollution can be cleaned up later, placing communities, ecosystems, and public resources at risk. #HandsOffMotherEarth #NoGeoengineering #NoFalseSolutions #NoDangerousDistractions #ClimateJustice #RealSolutions

The report exposes how fossil fuel interests and Big Tech are shaping California’s climate policy pushing risky, unproven technologies like Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) while real solutions are sidelined. #HandsOffMotherEarth #NoGeoengineering #NoFalseSolutions

As the California Air Resources Board meets today to discuss rules for a “Carbon Capture, Removal, Utilization and Storage Program” a new report by @biofuelwatch.bsky.social exposes how California is doubling down on speculative carbon removal instead of cutting emissions at source.

One marine cloud brightening trial was proposed across 10,000 square kilometers of the Pacific Northeast. One planned seaweed farm would grow to 94,000 square kilometers in the South Atlantic, an area larger than Portugal. #NoMarineGeoengineering #NoFalseSolutions

Do you know? Ocean alkalinity enhancement, artificial upwelling, and ocean iron fertilization would need to manipulate roughly 10% of the ocean's surface just to have any meaningful climate impact. #NoMarineGeoengineering #NoFalseSolutions

The numbers tell the story: in 2012, around 300 geoengineering-related projects and experiments had been documented. Today, that number has alarmingly grown to over 2,000. The interactive Geoengineering Map, built by @etcgroup.bsky.social and the @ecologyboell.bsky.social, tracks it all.

"Our Home is Not a Laboratory!": that was the message at our side event with @canclimateaction.bsky.social at the Bonn Climate Camp during UN #SB64. We were joined by civil society groups, community organizers and frontline defenders fighting for climate justice in Bonn this June.

The good news is that international agreements already call for precaution here, and the movement pushing back is growing every day.

Some of these projects are even being funded through carbon markets, letting companies buy credits for risky ocean interventions. And Indigenous communities and coastal populations are too often left out of the decisions that will shape their waters and their futures.

In reality, these approaches don't fix the climate crisis. They mask it temporarily, while putting an already stressed ocean under even more pressure. @ciel.org

At the UN climate negotiations #SB64 in Bonn, civil society organizations, Indigenous Peoples, and climate justice groups raised the alarm on marine geoengineering: large-scale attempts to manipulate the ocean's chemistry and biology, sold as climate solutions. @ienearth.bsky.social

The ocean is one of our best defense against climate breakdown. So why are some governments, polluters, start-ups, research programs, and industries pushing to experiment on it?

The message was consistent and clear: the solutions already exist, and they're being built by the Indigenous Peoples and local communities who've sustained ecosystems for generations through agroecology, community-led solutions, and traditional knowledge.

At the UN #SB64 negotiations in Bonn, civil society groups and climate campaigners from the Global South stood together to say what frontline communities have been saying for years: geoengineering is a false solution and a dangerous distraction that allows business as usual to continue.

Gina Cortes Valderrama, Women and Gender Constituency added, “Geoengineering is a political choice that sends the message to the people that it is preferable to risk unprecedented harm to planetary systems than to confront the fossil fuel economy and the corporate power that sustains it".
