Balloon goes up for geo-engineering

I'm not too keen on raising the same kind of point in successive articles, but the news that UK scientists are to trial an innovative piece of geo-engineering kit within a couple of months begs some of the same questions that came up in Monday's piece on carbon capture and storage (CCS).
The most basic one is simple - money.

Giant balloon to be launched to test climate fix hope

A huge helium-filled balloon attached to a 1km length of hosepipe is to be launched next month to help investigate the feasibility of climate engineering.
One method involves pumping particles into the stratosphere, to mimic the short-term cooling effects of volcanic eruptions.
The balloon test next month will investigate the engineering challenges posed by such a project.
Representatives discussed the project at the Science Festival in Bradford.
