Experts are warning that states hostile to Britain could use solar geoengineering to ‘orchestrate an environmental disaster’
The technology would be used to dim the sun’s light over the UK
UK government ministers are preparing for a scenario in which a hostile foreign power could weaponize the sun dimming technology.
A ministerial letter, states that the Government wants to understand the risks of an “independent or third-party actor” deploying technologies to reflect sunlight away from the earth. Perhaps they should ask Bill Gates.
The Telegraph reports: Experts said these third-party actors could include countries taking drastic action to lower their carbon emissions, or hostile nations such as Russia using solar geoengineering to orchestrate an environmental disaster against their enemies.
Solar geoengineering, also known as solar radiation modification, seeks to limit global warming by reducing the amount of sunlight that reaches Earth. One of the most researched techniques involves shooting aerosols into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight back into space.
In the letter, Kerry McCarthy, the climate minister, writes: “The UK is a longstanding leader on climate action and an active international collaborator in scientific research. The Government recognises the need to understand the risks and impacts of [solar radiation modification] approaches that could be deployed by an independent or third-party actor. Robust scientific evidence is essential for informing responsible and inclusive governance.”
Matt Ince, the associate director at Dragonfly Intelligence, said governments have long been concerned about the potential for countries to unilaterally use sun dimming technology to combat the most extreme effects of climate change, and the knock-on impact this could have on other countries.
But he said a new emerging threat is the potential for hostile states to weaponise the technology.
Mr Ince said: “In a context where we’ve had, for example, Russia increasingly expanding its use of hybrid warfare activities, it’s possible – not immediately, but down the line – that they may look to broaden and diversify the types of activities that they’re conducting, to include more novel types of activity of which solar geoengineering may be one.
“Not least because of its relative affordability and the feasibility of conducting it, but also because it would allow a relative degree of plausible deniability.
“We’ve seen migration patterns being intentionally influenced by the Russian state as a way of trying to push more pressure on to European countries.”
Mr Ince added that “some sort of intentionally orchestrated environmental disaster” is an “avenue that Russia may pursue”.
“That could be something like purposefully creating an oil spill within a busy shipping lane using Russia’s shadow fleet,” he said. “But on the more imaginative end of the spectrum it’s feasible it could involve deliberately trying to use solar geoengineering technologies in order to be able to destabilise the climate within a European state and in so doing, create chaos and a sense of discord, and force countries to become more inward focused.”
Sun dimming comes with risks
Critics of sun dimming approaches say there are unknown risks, and they distract from global efforts to reduce emissions.
More than 560 academics have signed an open letter calling for an “international non-use agreement” on solar geoengineering.
The letter states: “Without effective global and democratic controls, the geopolitics of possible unilateral deployment of solar geoengineering would be frightening and inequitable.”
