The Alameda City Council unanimously rejected a first-in-the-nation experiment to alter the climate.
A Northern California city council voted early Wednesday morning to cancel the nation’s first outdoor experiment into the potential to limit global warming by altering cloud behavior.
City officials said they were put off by the project’s lack of transparency. While researchers maintained they didn’t need any federal, state or local permits to begin the experiment, officials faulted them for“You didn’t start out on the right foot,” Alameda Mayor Marilyn Ezzy Ashcraft told the researchers. “I’m not thrilled when I open the paper ... and read about this controversial experiment taking place in the Bay Area. I thought, ‘Oh, I wonder where that is.
The project operated for about 20 minutes over the last week of March and first week of April until it was halted, Doherty said. “We are keenly interested in dealing with climate change,” said Vice Mayor Tony Daysog. “But for me, I just feel that a lot of the information has just been far too thin.”
