Claim A project funded by Bill Gates "would help block out the sun." Rating Mostly False Mostly False About this rating What's True Since 2007, Bill Gates has funded research initiatives that, in part, provide grants for experiments related to solar radiation management — a form of geoengineering controversially proposed as a last-ditch solution to anthropogenic global warming. A Harvard experiment named SCoPEx is supported in part by these initiatives. What's False The project at issue in several sensationalized news stories, SCoPEx, is an experiment designed to collect data for the purpose of refining computer models that simulate solar radiation management, not to implement an actual test of the practice. The most the experiment would seek to do is release two kilograms (3.4 pounds) of non-toxic dust from a weather balloon 12 miles high in the sky. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
