Rogue climate group launching sulfur dioxide balloons to geo-engineer Earth: EPA chief sounds alarm.
Expert in geological engineering
Anarchists in Northern California’s climate movement are trying to influence global warming by releasing sulfur dioxide-filled balloons into space. The climate startup running the show charges $30/month for access or $5/ton for “cooling credits” to mitigate carbon emissions. The unchecked activities of the startup have captured the interest of EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin and are creating quite a commotion.
“Make Sunsets is a startup that is geoengineering by injecting sulfur dioxide into the sky and then selling” cooling credits. We are breathing in polluted air because of this firm. “I’ve told my team that we need to figure this out and do something about it right away,” Zeldin wrote on X.
Launched a few years ago, Make Sunsets was co-founded by angel investors, Boost VC, Draper Associates, and Luke Iseman, who had previously served as Y Combinator’s director of hardware. Staking Solana ETFs to Debut in Canada
The magnificent sunsets produced by sulfur dioxide particles suspended in mid-air are the inspiration for the Make Sunsets game. These included the ones seen during the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo, which momentarily reduced world temperatures by about.2°C for around one year.
A catastrophe is inevitable if we let renegade activists manipulate the climate. Aerosols like this temporarily lower Earth’s surface temperature and may even mess with the jet stream’s behavior by increasing the planet’s albedo, or reflection.
EPA has more to say:
One startup, going by the name of “Make Sunsets,” is attempting to geoengineer the earth by releasing sulfur dioxide (SO2) balloons into the atmosphere in the hopes of selling “cooling” credits; the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) has issued a demand for information to this group. The previous administration was aware of this problem in 2023, but they did little to investigate the dubious startup and its associated activities.
Mexico has already outlawed Make Sunsets. According to their website, they have already executed more than 124 deployments and aim to substantially grow this activity. Both the origin of the SO2 and the location of the balloon launches remain unknown. Additionally, whether or whether the business has communicated with any federal, state, or municipal aviation authorities is unknown. Consequently, the EPA intends to take further measures if needed and has submitted a demand for information in order to obtain answers.
Make Sunsets is run by Luke Iseman and Andrew Song, according to public records. Insituform Technologies, Inc. was also founded by this firm.
Make Sunsets’s publicly available profile features an address that appears to be a Northern California estate.
Make Sunsets’ most recent operations are detailed on Iseman’s X page:
Even more outrageous was his boasting about the fact that he had donated to the extreme left-wing climate group “Just Stop Oil.”
A disgruntled faction known as Just Stop Oil has launched multiple assaults on Tesla.
Maybe left-wing climate activists shouldn’t have unchecked power over solar geoengineering.
We have faith that the depths of this group’s connections go much further than what meets the eye. A cursory examination of the founders’ social media accounts reveals an ideological alignment with the de-growth climate cult, which has weakened Western economies and given China a distinct advantage with its coal-powered factories.
