#FridayReads What isn't geoengineering❓
🧵Conspiracy theory claims that long-lasting vapour trails left by aircraft often referred to as “chemtrails” contain harmful substances intentionally released into the atmosphere for various undisclosed purposes

Flying blind. That's how leading climate scientists and academics describe the current state of geoengineering schemes.
➡️ Technologies that can wreak havoc on the climate system with potential termination shock.
➡️ Only a temporary fix with barely any oversight of private players.
➡️ Funding targeted at developing the technologies for deployment regardless of the consequences.

Hands Off Mother Earth! (HOME) Alliance retweeted
"Self-determination should not mean self destruction..." IEN's Geoengineering Outreach Organizer, Aakaluk A. Blatchford, stood outside the Harpa convention center during Arctic Circle Assembly to call out the dangerous schemes being proposed in order to continue fossil fuel extraction. It's time for an Indigenous Just Transition away from extraction, not new markets which allow business as usual to continue. #DefendTheSacred
As we head to #COP31, watch Aakaluk Adrienne Blatchford of @IENearth share why Indigenous Peoples are resisting false solutions like Geoengineering.

As Europe grapples with heatwaves pushing health systems towards breaking point, the search for climate “solutions” is intensifying. But should we really be considering solar geoengineering as a public health intervention?
The question is not simply whether we can cool the planet. It is whether we should gamble with global public health when the risks remain so poorly understood.
More than 130 civil society organisations, networks and other stakeholders are calling on the Supervisory Body of the Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism (PACM) to immediately suspend the first carbon credits issued under the UN’s new Article 6.4 carbon market
