Luke Iseman and Andrew Song from
"Make Sunsets" explain why they've launched SAI balloons and sold
cooling credits to customers.
Luke Iseman on his for-profit solar geoengineering venture - Make Sunsets | Challenging Climate
Luke Iseman is the founder of Make Sunsets, a recently launched startup that is selling “cooling credits” on the promise that they will release sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere using weather balloons. In this episode, we discuss Make Sunset’s mission to “substantially lower global temperatures,” the details of their offering, the technical challenges for verifying their cooling credits, and the potential political repercussions of their efforts
