What the petition asks
We believe neither the Government, nor anyone else, should be able to use technologies to intervene in the Earth’s natural systems. We want all forms of 'geo-engineering' on land, sea and air in the control to be banned.
The Government has said 'geo-engineering' is essential to meet its climate targets: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/geo-engineering-research-the-government-s-view/uk-governments-view-on-greenhouse-gas-removal-technologies-and-solar-radiation-management#why-they-are-needed
