They war-gamed dimming the #Sun. It went even worse than you think. #SolarGeoengineering simulation shows what happens when #geopolitics takes over. #Climate researcher took part in war games. Goal: to prevent uncontrolled global race to develop a technology aimed at cooling the planet but that comes with vast unknown risks that could reshape life on #Earth. World is going to have to make decisions about how to govern this technology much sooner than policymakers imagine. https://arstechnica.com/science/2026/10/they-war-gamed-dimming-the-sun-it-went-even-worse-than-you-think/
