"UN Sees Geoengineering As A New Risk To Nature"

"The Environment Programme report focuses on potential dangers to the planet, from disease to unlivable places."

"The United Nations warned that some efforts to address climate change can carry their own risks to the planet.

Those include carbon offsets and cloud-altering experiments, which the U.N. said in a new report could lead to financial corruption and destabilized weather patterns if they’re not fully understood and managed responsibly.

“The disruptions presented in this report are not guaranteed to happen. But they could happen. We need to be ready,” Inger Andersen, executive director of the U.N. Environment Programme, writes in the forward of the report."
