We just hit a new milestone!
This month, we deployed a record-breaking 23,951 Cooling Credits, offsetting the equivalent of what over 1 million mature trees lasting a year.
Yesterday’s launch helped push us over the edge: 3 biodegradable balloons, 4,585g of SO2, and a 100% success rate reaching the stratosphere.
Launch details below

@MakeSunsets This isn't all that reassuring tbh.
Feels like the "drop an ice cube in the ocean to delay global warming" joke from futurama.
You don't have any right to alter any part of my home environment, especially without asking.
No individual has the right to alter the entire planet.

@romeo_simba_ Quick question, do you think greenhouse gases are warming up our planet?
English
You're misinformed on the effects of stratospheric aerosol injection; at scale, we only need to reflect 1-2% of the Sun's energy into space to avoid the worst effects of climate change. You couldn't even tell we're doing it unless we told you, or you know how to analyze satellite data. Here's a paper if you'd like to learn more. davidkeith.earth/publication/un…

@MakeSunsets If you clog up the sky over here and ruin the small handful of sunny days we actually get, I will personally come and find you myself.
English
@GabGarrett Yes, once there is demand for it.
Currently, a team of two people can launch 1 balloon every 15-20 minutes with a payload of 1.5 - 2kg of SO2 and can fulfill a month's worth of orders in 1-2 days.
Scaling is not the issue right now.

@MakeSunsets You guys should make a factory pipeline that can just auto fill and release a thousand of these a day

A million to one ratio is pretty sweet, tbh. Proud to buy cooling credits from these guys - paying to reflect a miniscule fraction of sunlight back into space. The only possible way to halt climate change at 1.5C.

Guess how much SO2 you need in the stratosphere to offset 108.7M tons of CO2? We need just 108.7 metric tons of SO2—the weight of one Boeing 757. For context, that’s roughly the same amount of SO2 already emitted annually by just one large airport like BWI (Maryland). We’re talking about using the equivalent of one airport’s sulfur output to neutralize the warming of a 30GW national power fleet for data centers. @MakeSunsets balloons make this possible today for $108.7 million at the current retail price of $1/gram of SO2 deployed in the stratosphere, which offsets the warming effect of 1 metric ton of CO2 for a year. As we scale, we can get it down to $0.01/gram deployed.

If you planted 10 million mature trees and let them grow for a year, you’d get roughly the same cooling effect as our 222,983 Cooling Credits deployed to date.
Thank you to all our customers, investors, and last but not least, the people who shout at clouds for helping spread the "good" sulfur into the stratosphere to cool Earth.

On 2/18/26, we launched 4 biodegradable latex balloons. 3 of which made it 27km+ which released the same molecules you put in wine to preserve it, to cool the Earth. Together, they offset the warming caused by ~6,031 tons of CO₂ over one year (equivalent to the annual emissions of ~1,311 cars). Watch the launch videos and details of each balloon below ↓ 1 of 4 Balloons Launch Date: Feb. 18th, 2026 Time: 1:34pm PST Balloon Weight: 1,500 grams SO₂ Payload: 1,600 grams Injection Altitude: 17,487 meters Delivery: Kaymont HAB-TX-1500 weather balloon Note: did not make it past 20,000 meters, so did not issue Cooling Credits for this deployment

@GavinBrinck @RepThomasMassie Quick question, what is your definition of geoengineering?
English
@MakeSunsets @RepThomasMassie this should be as illegal as geo engineering ??
