Background
Atmospheric geoengineering and weather-modification may pose serious risks to public health, air quality, ecosystems, agriculture, and weather stability. The public deserves clarity about activities that could affect the environment and well-being. Precautionary action is needed to prevent harm, protect public trust, and ensure environmental decisions are evidence-based, accountable, and safe.
