UK government is openly funding solar geoengineering; make your voice heard
RHODA WILSON
The UK government is funding £50 million for solar geoengineering field trials through the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (“ARIA”).
It is claimed that ARIA will support controlled outdoor experiments. But solar geoengineering operations such as Stratospheric Aerosol Injection, or chemtrails, have been happening for years.
AIRA said as well as outdoor experiments, it will be gauging public attitudes to geoengineering. Is this the real reason for publicising solar geoengineering experiments? If so, let them know what your attitude towards their experiments is.
The UK government has committed £50 million to fund controversial solar geoengineering field trials, positioning Britain as a leading authority in this experimental climate intervention.
ARIA will use the money to support controlled outdoor experiments of multiple Solar Radiation Modification techniques, including Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (“SAI”) and Marine Cloud Brightening.
Prof Mark Symes, the programme director for ARIA, said there would be “small controlled outdoor experiments on particular approaches.”
“We will be announcing who we have given funding to in a few weeks and when we do so, we will be making clear when any outdoor experiments might be taking place,” he said.
As well as outdoor experiments, Aria will also be funding new modelling studies, indoor tests, climate monitoring and gauging public attitudes to geoengineering, The Telegraph said.
This is simply an update on an announcement made by ARIA in September 2024. At the time, ARIA said it was investing £57 million to fund small-scale outdoor geoengineering experiments to artificially cool the planet. Proposals for those wanting funding from ARIA closed in early December, with successful projects being announced before July 2025.
The £50 million for geoengineering experiments is a fraction of ARIA’s budget. The agency has a £800 million budget from the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. However, its spending and operations remain secretive, with an exemption from complying with Freedom of Information requests.
ARIA’s leadership, including CEO Ilan Gur and Chair Matt Clifford, have significant power with little accountability and the agency’s projects, such as solar geoengineering and brain-interfacing neurotechnologies, pose significant risks to the public and the planet.
ARIA’s secrecy and lack of transparency, combined with its high-stakes experiments, could lead to catastrophic consequences. The agency’s true motives and partnerships remain unclear, sparking concerns about unaccountable governance and potential mismanagement of public funds.
Announcing the £50 million to fund solar geoengineering experiments isn’t ARIA satisfying a sudden urge to be transparent about their activities or public funds. It’s a test to see if the public has any critical thinking left. The Great Climate Con puts it succinctly:
We’re pouring billions into solar panels to capture sunlight, yet this project wants to bounce that same sunlight back into space. It’s like installing a state-of-the-art kitchen and then banning cooking. Solar energy is a cornerstone of the “green transition,” with the UK aiming for 70 GW of solar capacity by 2035. Why undermine that by dimming the sun?
In addition to that, SAI from aeroplanes has already been happening. Colloquially known as chemtrails, the spraying of chemicals from aeroplanes has been happening in UK skies for more than a decade.
In 2013, Chemtrails Project UK published a ‘Directive to Ban Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering and Aerial Aerosol Spraying in the United Kingdom’. One section of the Directive lists the evidence available at that time that showed large-scale aerial spraying activities had already started.
The Directive also has a section: ‘We’ve been sprayed before’. Meaning that, in 2013, chemtrails were not a recent or unknown phenomenon.
We’ve been sprayed before
The evidence abounds that Aerial Aerosol Spraying of chemicals is being performed over the UK, undisclosed and without our consent. Whilst this may seem like a bizarre notion, it should be noted that the UK population has been sprayed before by aeroplanes in secret tests, as admitted by the British government. [See HERE and HERE.]
This notion that we’re being already sprayed would also be consistent with the World Meteorological Organisation’s claim that “there are dozens of nations operating hundreds of weather modification projects” and that “in recent years there has been a decline in the support for weather modification research, and a tendency to move directly into operational projects.” [See HERE.]
Unearthed documents also expose RAF artificial rainmaking experiments as the cause of the Lynmouth (Devon) floods of 1952. [See HERE.]
Further information on previous spraying programmes is available in an independent scientific analysis, Case Orange, commissioned by Belgium’s environmental watchdog, the Belfort Group. [See HERE.]
In 2014, in response to a request made under the Freedom of Information Act, the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change (“DECC”) wrote:
In 2014, in response to a request made under the Freedom of Information Act, the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change (“DECC”) denied involvement with chemtrail operations:
The Royal Society published a report in 2009 which explains SRM [solar radiation modification] methods. No SRM which could include spraying to reflect sunlight or modifying clouds, is being performed by HMG [Her Majesty’s Government] and, to the best of our knowledge, is not being performed in or above the UK. While SRM is discussed in the Royal Society report, it does not recommend implementing a programme of SRM … DECC has funded projects at the Met Office Hadley Centre into the effects of SRM …The Government is not undertaking geoengineering activities and as far as we are aware nobody is in the UK.
Why, if SAI has been happening for years, is the UK now admitting to funding small solar geoengineering outdoor experiments?
Chemtrails Project UK’s Directive noted:
With government agencies admitting geoengineering operations are potentially disastrous, a [UN] moratorium was placed in 2010, with its 193 signatories agreeing to place a current ban on such geoengineering projects with the exemption, however, of “small-scale scientific research studies,” weather modification and carbon capture. [See HERE.]
Is it just a coincidence that, as we are told, ARIA is funding “small controlled outdoor experiments” or, put another way, “small-scale scientific research studies”? Is the funding of “outdoor experiments” a cover story? Or perhaps it is simply a ruse to gauge public attitudes to geoengineering.
Don’t let them get away with it. Let them know that your attitude to geoengineering is to strongly object to it. On Chemtrails Project UK’s website is a ‘Take Action’ tab; one option is to send the Directive to your Member of Parliament, another is to sign a petition, although the website doesn’t appear to have been active since 2021 so it’s not certain if any action will be taken with this petition. You can also sign a petition to the UK Parliament titled ‘Make all forms of ‘geo-engineering’ affecting the environment illegal’ HERE.
ER Editor: A reminder that the Starmer govt has announced it will conduct geoengineering experiments. Of course, it’s been going on for years. Finally, however, public consciousness is awakening to this hideous poisoning of the people —
I took this picture on Easter on Sunday, 2024. It’s one of the most shocking pictures I’ve ever taken. Yet there are still people who will look at it and say it is not proof of anything. #chemtrails#NewJerseypic.twitter.com/UcbN77h6PT

Make all forms of ‘geo-engineering’ affecting the environment illegal
We want all forms of geo-engineering to be illegal in the UK. We do not want any use of technologies to intervene in the Earth’s natural systems.
More details
We think there is a potential for this to negatively impact humanity, flora and fauna in the future. It has previously been said that Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR) is essential to meet climate targets. We believe that this, and all other forms of geo-engineering, should be made illegal in the UK.
The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
