We Cool Earth by launching reflective clouds.

Shorts

Yesterday, we launched 3 biodegradable latex balloons to the stratosphere and released reflective sulfur aerosols to cool the Earth. Together, they offset the warming of ~5,855 tons of CO₂ for one year (equivalent to the annual emissions of 1,272 cars). Watch the launches ↓ 1 of 3 Balloons Launch Date: Oct. 30th, 2025 Balloon Weight: 1,515 grams SO₂ Payload: 1,985 grams Injection Altitude: 27,259 meters Delivery: Kaymont HAB-TX-1500 weather balloon

Earlier this week, we deployed ~12.99 pounds of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) into the stratosphere, including one launch that reached an altitude of 101,400 feet. These deployments offset the warming effect of 5,895 metric tons of CO₂ for a year. In under three hours, we achieved the climate-cooling equivalent of planting 267,954 mature trees. 🧵1/2

Make Earth Cool Again. Yesterday, we had special guests 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 and Alice help us deploy reflective clouds next to the Ozone layer to cool Earth. In total we launched four balloons and placed ~7.25 pounds of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) close to the Ozone layer, including one launch that reached a height of 101,358 feet. These deployments offset the warming effect of 3,290 metric tons of CO₂ for a year. We achieved the climate-cooling equivalent of planting 149,545 mature trees that last for a year.

Yesterday, we deployed seven biodegradable natural latex balloons with measured sulfur dioxide and hydrogen. All reached the stratosphere. Telemetry confirmed 10,525 Cooling Credits reached 20km+, offsetting 10,525 metric tons of carbon dioxide warming for a year. This is the equivalent of 478,409 mature trees that last for a year done in 2 hours. Here is a thread on all seven launches with details: 1st of 7 Balloons Launch Date: July 23, 2025 Balloon Weight: 1,515 grams SO2 Payload: 1,385 grams Injection Altitude: 23,755 meters Delivery: Kaymont HAB-TX-1500 weather balloon

Yesterday we sent a biodegradable balloon to 92,706 ft with 2,260 g of SO₂ and hydrogen lift. Same physics that cooled Earth after Mt. Pinatubo in 1991, now done on purpose. This one flight ≈ 2,260 tCO₂-year cooled or ~102,727 mature trees that last a year. Want us to scale this? Join here

Yesterday, we deployed three balloons with a total payload of 6,075 grams of sulfur dioxide (SO2) into the stratosphere, decoupling the warming of 6,075 tons of CO2 for a year. 🌍 🌳That’s like planting 289,285 trees that last for a year! 🌳 Bonus: We made history with the first-ever balloon launch carrying the largest SO2 payload into the stratosphere—3,095 grams in a single 4kg balloon! Special thanks to nvo and Tom Eliot for documenting the launch and helping us cool Earth.
