The Geoengineering Elephant in the Room
A Coalition of Researchers and Legal Advocates Announces a
Major Public Webinar on What Is Happening in America’s Skies
Special Public Webinar • Monday, May 4, 2026
5:00 PM Pacific • Free & Open to the Public
Millions of Americans have been looking up and asking the same question for years: What do we really know about those streaks in the sky and are they dangerous? On Monday, May 4th, a coalition of researchers, legal advocates, and environmental investigators will convene a special public webinar to share what a two year-long effort has uncovered, and what it means for the future of clean skies in America.
The findings are significant. The implications are far-reaching. And the path forward is one that the broader geoengineering and environmental community has not yet seen.
What we found changes the conversation entirely. We ask only that people come with an open mind.
This effort began with the same question driving concerned citizens and legislators across 37 states: what is happening in our atmosphere, who is responsible, and what can be done about it. After hundreds of hours of research, legal analysis, and scientific review, the team behind this webinar has arrived at answers that are simultaneously more provable, more alarming, and more actionable than the conversation has reflected so far.
The webinar will lay out the full picture for the first time, in plain language, with the evidence to back it up. Attendees will leave with a fundamentally different understanding of what is happening above them, the threat posed, and a clear sense of the legal and regulatory path forward.
This is not a rehearsal of familiar arguments. This is new ground.
ATTENDEES WILL LEARN:
-
Why the fight for clean skies has not been working, and what has been missing
-
What peer-reviewed science and government data reveal about what is actually in our atmosphere
-
The federal legal action that forces accountability, and the 180-day countdown it triggers
-
What this means for state-level efforts across the country
-
The concrete, actionable path to clean and healthy skies
