Wolkenimpfung ist energieaufwendig, teuer und lenkt ab

Viele Staaten und selbst die US-Tech-Branche investieren in Wolkenimpfung. Aus Verzweiflung, sagt Atmosphärenphysikerin Ulrike Lohmann, die selbst lange an der Technik geforscht hat. Die Wirkung sei begrenzt und lasse sich auch mit KI und Drohnen kaum steigern.

"Presidents of four international scientific societies representing about 2,500 researchers from more than 30 countries are among those who have raised concerns in letters to the US Federal Communications Commission (#FCC)…Altering the light-dark cycle could disrupt biological clocks that regulate sleep and hormone secretion in humans and animals, migration in nocturnal species, seasonal cycles in plants and the rhythms of marine phytoplankton that underpin ocean food webs."

The State of the Cryosphere Report 2024 warns that on a trajectory toward 3°C of warming, many regions will experience sea level rise and water resource loss beyond adaptation limits this century.

Geoengineering is not a plan. Decarbonisation is.
