A group of Israeli-American scientists has launched a new effort to supposedly fight “global warming” by blocking the Sun’s light and heat from reaching Earth’s surface.
As Slay News has previously reported, the plan has been long championed by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.
Gates argues that the plan will cool the planet by reflecting heat and light away to prevent it from warming the surface.
In recent years, Gates has funded several projects that seek to block the Sun.
The scheme involves spraying trillions of aerosol particles into the sky to increase cloud cover and block sunlight.
Gates claims that “climate change” can be reversed by blocking sunlight light from reaching the Earth’s surface to trigger “global cooling.”
As Slay News previously reported, Gates collaborated with Harvard University on a separate project to modify the weather in Sweden to fight the alleged “climate crisis.”
However, the experiment in the skies above Sweden, which also sought to block the Sun with aerosols, was canceled after opposition from campaigners and Indigenous groups.
A report from Scientific American notes that there is little data on the potential negative effects of such geoengineering projects as most of the studies lean toward the alleged “benefits” of blocking the Sun to cool the planet.
The report notes that such experiments “could also harm communities and ecosystems in unexpected ways.”
Yet, despite concerns Wired is now reporting that “a mysterious startup is developing a new form of solar geoengineering.”
An Israeli–U.S. startup called Stardust Solutions “intends to patent its unique aerosol technology for temporarily cooling the planet.”
Formed in 2023, Stardust wants to develop “proprietary geoengineering technology that would help block sun rays from reaching the planet.”
Instead of universities and federal agencies, Stardust wants private companies to lead the plans.
Stardust boasts that it will lead the development and deployment of “technologies that experts say could have profound consequences for the planet.”
The company claims its technology will trigger a “deliberate transformation of the atmosphere” that “has never been done.”
Wired points out that if Stardust’s geoengineering technology goes live, “it will affect the whole world.”
However, the report emphasizes the danger:
“If a geoengineering project went awry, for example, it could contribute to air pollution and ozone loss, or have dramatic effects on weather patterns, such as disrupting monsoons in populous South and East Asia.”
Meanwhile, Stardust has kept its plans largely secret.
“The company has not publicly released details about its technology, its business model, or exactly who works at its company,” Wired notes.
The secretive organization also wants to sell its “proprietary geoengineering technology to governments that are considering making modifications to the global climate—acting like a kind of defense contractor for climate alteration.”
Stardust is moving forward despite “few national and international rules and limited oversight.”
“A recent report by the company’s former climate governance consultant, Janos Pasztor, called for the company to increase its transparency, engagement, and communication with outsiders,” according to Wired.
Pasztor says Stardust doesn’t have a “social license” for geoengineering activities, meaning the company has not been open to public or peer scrutiny about its intentions.
It hasn’t published any of its research and has no code of conduct.
Stardust’s CEO and cofounder Yanai Yedvab is a former deputy chief scientist at the Israel Atomic Energy Commission (IAEC).
The IAEC in an agency that “oversees the country’s clandestine nuclear program.”
Stardust has 25 physicists, chemists, and engineers.
Its chief product officer Amyad Spector is a physicist and a former employee of Israel’s nuclear research program.
Stardust plans include distributing proprietary aerosol particles into Earth’s atmosphere “through a machine mounted on an aircraft.”
The company is currently “engineering the particle and a prototype of the aircraft mount, as well as developing a system for modeling and monitoring the climatic effects.”
It plans to test those particles in the stratosphere in the coming year.
