Electric Storms and Engineered Skies

· 20 min

Show notes

This week’s skies are putting on quite a show — with dramatic thunderstorms rolling across the UK and Ireland. But did you know that in 1993, Russia tried to beam sunlight down to Siberia using a giant space mirror? That bold experiment is just one chapter in the fascinating story of geo-engineering.

💰 The £50 million government investment into geo-engineering trials — are there any parts of the scheme we can get behind?
