- Stardust, a shadowy Israeli-U.S. startup, is developing proprietary aerosol technology to block sunlight and artificially cool the planet.
- The company, founded in 2023, is backed by military-linked venture capital and former nuclear scientists, operating with zero transparency.
- Critics warn the unregulated experiment could disrupt global weather, destroy agriculture, and violate international environmental laws.
- Stardust plans stratospheric aerosol tests within a year, despite no public oversight, scientific consensus, or democratic approval.
- The company’s ties to Israeli intelligence and defense agencies raise concerns about geopolitical weaponization of climate control.
A reckless experiment with global consequences
A clandestine startup named Stardust is preparing to unleash an untested solar geoengineering scheme that could destabilize Earth’s climate and endanger billions of lives. The Israeli-U.S. firm, founded in 2023 and shrouded in secrecy, is developing proprietary aerosol particles designed to block sunlight from reaching the planet—a reckless gamble with no public consent, no independent oversight, and no regard for the catastrophic consequences.
Stardust’s CEO, Yanai Yedvab, is a former deputy chief scientist at the Israel Atomic Energy Commission, an agency notorious for overseeing the nation’s covert nuclear weapons program. The company’s chief product officer, Amyad Spector, is another physicist plucked from Israel’s nuclear research apparatus. With 25 physicists, chemists, and engineers on staff—many with military-industrial backgrounds—Stardust is not a benign climate savior but a rogue operation masquerading as environmental innovation.
Solar geoengineering, the deliberate manipulation of Earth’s atmosphere to reflect sunlight, is not theoretical. It is a criminal conspiracy against nature, an untested planetary-scale experiment that could trigger irreversible ecological collapse. Stardust’s plan involves dispersing proprietary aerosol particles via aircraft-mounted machines into the stratosphere—a process with no long-term safety data, no democratic oversight, and no accountability.
According to Wired, if Stardust’s technology is deployed, it "will affect the whole world." Potential disasters include:
- Disrupted monsoons, threatening food supplies for billions in Asia and Africa.
- Ozone layer destruction, increasing UV radiation and cancer rates.
- Unpredictable weather shifts, exacerbating droughts, floods, and hurricanes.
- Termination shock, where sudden cessation of geoengineering could cause rapid, deadly global warming.
Janos Pasztor, Stardust’s former climate governance consultant, admitted the company lacks a "social license" to conduct such experiments. In a damning report, Pasztor urged transparency, but Stardust has ignored these pleas, refusing to publish research or engage with the public.
Military-industrial ties and the push for climate control
Stardust’s primary investor, Awz Ventures, is a Canadian-Israeli venture capital firm with deep ties to Mossad, Shin Bet, and Unit 8200—Israel’s most secretive intelligence agencies. Awz also funds Corsight AI, a facial recognition company supplying surveillance tech for Israel’s war in Gaza. This is not climate science; it is military-grade weather warfare disguised as environmentalism.
Benjamin Day of Friends of the Earth warns that Stardust’s business model is "holding governments hostage with patents." With no private market for geoengineering, the company’s only profit comes from selling its technology to governments—effectively creating a monopoly on global climate manipulation.
No regulations, no ethics, no future
The most chilling reality? There are no international laws stopping them. As Duncan McLaren, a researcher at American University, warns: "There is potential for this to be a highly undemocratic process of moving us down a slippery slope to solar geoengineering."
Stardust’s actions violate the Convention on Biological Diversity, which imposes a de facto moratorium on geoengineering. Yet, like a modern-day Dr. Strangelove, Stardust marches forward, unshackled by ethics or consequences.
History is littered with the wreckage of human arrogance—from nuclear testing to GMO crops to toxic pharmaceuticals. Now, a secretive cabal of scientists and military-industrial profiteers seeks to hijack the sky itself, gambling with the fate of every living creature on Earth.
As Shuchi Talati of The Alliance for Just Deliberation on Solar Geoengineering warns: "They are operating in a vacuum, in the sense that there is no social license to do what they are trying to do."
The question remains: Will humanity stand by as a rogue corporation decides the future of our planet—or will we rise to stop this madness before it’s too late? Several U.S. states have already moved to ban geoengineering over their skies, but what does enforcement look like, when the boundary lines in the skies are blurred?
