Euroverify: ¿Está el Reino Unido manipulando el clima a través de la geoingeniería?

Los nuevos ensayos financiados por el Gobierno para probar formas de reflejar la luz solar para hacer frente al cambio climático han dado lugar a afirmaciones engañosas y conspiraciones en internet.

00:00Claims about the UK's geoengineering experiments debunked.

00:08Misinformation is circulating online off the back of a recent announcement

00:12that the UK government is going to fund outdoor geoengineering experiments.

00:16Geoengineering refers to deliberate large-scale interventions in the Earth's environment

00:21to try to stave off the effects of climate change.

00:24The UK is focusing on solar radiation management, or SRM, according to reports,

00:29where a small portion of sunlight is reflected into space to cool the Earth.

00:33Nevertheless, social media users are claiming that the UK

00:36has already been engaging in geoengineering for years without public consent

00:40as a way to control the population.

00:42It would be impossible to conduct large-scale weather modification experiments in secret.

00:49It just can't be done.

00:51The amount of aircraft needed to fly this material to where it needs to go

00:58and the radiative effect would be easily obtainable by publicly available information.

01:06There have also been allegations that the UK government has been conducting SRM in secret for years.

01:11There's absolutely no evidence for that.

01:14What we should not get mixed up with is that there are techniques used in some parts of the world

01:20to produce short-term effects such as rain by seeding clouds.

01:28But it's not what I'm talking about when I talk about solar radiation management

01:31because solar radiation management in this definition is the long-term manipulation

01:36of the radiation balance of the atmosphere.

01:39It's true, though, that geoengineering is a controversial topic,

01:43with its backers saying it could be a crucial tool in the fight against climate change

01:47and its detractors warning it would distract from cutting emissions

01:50and cause unintended social and environmental effects.
