The fundraising haul marks strong enthusiasm for experiments aimed at lowering temperatures, said the company. But it also raises questions about commercializing technologies with potentially damaging consequences.

A once-outlandish idea for reversing global warming took a major step toward reality Friday when Israeli-U.S. startup Stardust Solutions announced the largest-ever fundraising round for any company that aims to cool the Earth by spraying particles into the atmosphere.

Its plan to limit the sun’s heat raised $60 million from a broad coalition of investors that included Silicon Valley luminaries and the Agnelli family, an Italian industrial dynasty.

The disclosure, critics said, raises questions about involvement of venture capital firms in driving forward a largely untested, thinly researched and mostly unregulated technology that could disrupt global weather patterns and trigger geopolitical conflict.

The investors were “putting their trust in the concept of, we need a safe and responsible and controlled option for sunlight reflection, which for me is [a] very important step forward in the evolution of this field,” Stardust CEO Yanai Yedvab said during an interview this week in POLITICO’s London office. He and co-founder Amyad Spector, who also flew in for the interview, are both nuclear physicists who formerly worked for the Israeli government.

The startup’s fundraising haul was led by Lowercarbon Capital, a Wyoming-based climate technology-focused firm co-founded by billionaire investor Chris Sacca.

It was also backed by the venture capital arm of the Agnellis’ firm Exor, a Dutch holding company that is the largest shareholder of Chrysler parent company Stellantis, luxury sports car manufacturer Ferrari and Italy’s Juventus Football Club. Ten other firms — hailing from San Francisco to Berlin — and one individual, former Facebook executive Matt Cohler, also joined Stardust’s fundraising round, its second since being founded two years ago.

The firm has now raised a total of $75 million. It is registered in the U.S. state of Delaware and headquartered outside Tel Aviv but is not affiliated with the state of Israel.

The surge of investor enthusiasm for Stardust comes amid stalled political efforts in Washington and other capitals to reduce the use of oil, gas and coal — the main drivers of climate change. Meanwhile, global temperatures continue to climb to new heights, worsening wildfires, floods, droughts and other natural disasters that some U.S. policymakers have baselessly blamed on solar geoengineering.

The new influx of cash is four times the size of the startup’s initial fundraising round and, Yedvab argued, represents a major vote of confidence in Stardust and its strategy to land government contracts for deploying its technology at a global scale. It also shows that a growing pool of investors are willing to bet on solar geoengineering — a technology that some scientists still consider too dangerous to even study.

Even advocates of researching solar geoengineering question the wisdom of pursuing it via a for-profit company like Stardust.

“They have convinced Silicon Valley [venture capitalists] to give them a lot of money, and I would say that they shouldn’t have,” said Gernot Wagner, a climate economist at Columbia Business School and author of the book “Geoengineering: The Gamble.” “I don’t think it is a reasonable path to suggest that there’s going to be somebody — the U.S. government, another government, whoever — who buys Stardust, buys the [intellectual property] for a billion bucks [and] makes the VC investors gazillions. I don’t think that is, at all, reasonable.”

Lowercarbon Capital did not respond to emailed questions.

Stardust claims to have created a particle that would reflect sunlight in the same way debris from volcanic eruptions can temporarily cool the planet. The company says its powder is inert, wouldn’t accumulate in humans or ecosystems, and can’t harm the ozone layer or create acid rain like the sulfur-rich particles from volcanoes.

It plans to seek government contracts to manufacture, disperse and monitor the particles in the stratosphere. The company is in the process of securing patents and preparing academic papers on its integrated solar geoengineering system.

The startup would use the money it has raised to begin “outdoor contained experiments” as soon as April, Yedvab told POLITICO. Those tests would release the company’s reflective particles inside a modified plane flying about 11 miles (18 kilometers) above sea level.

The idea, Yedvab explained, is that “instead of displacing the particles out to the stratosphere and start following them, to do the other way around — to suck air from the stratosphere and to conduct in situ experiments, without dispersing essentially.”

He said the company could have raised more money but only sought the funding it believes is necessary for the initial stratospheric testing. Stardust only took cash from investors who are aligned with the company’s cautious approach, he added.

The fundraising round wasn’t conducted “from a point of view of, let’s get as much money as we can, but rather to say, this is what we need” to advance the technology, Yedvab said.

Stardust’s new investors include the U.S. firms Future Positive, Future Ventures, Never Lift Ventures, Starlight Ventures, Nebular and Lauder Partners, as well as the British groups Attestor, Kindred Capital and Orion Global Advisors. Berlin’s Earth.now also joined the fundraising round.

Henry Crown

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Crown

Henry Crown (né Krinsky; June 13, 1896 – August 14, 1990) was an American industrialist and philanthropist. Among other things, he founded the Material Service Corporation, which merged with General Dynamics in 1959. At the time of his death, he was a billionaire. Henry Crown and Company, of which he is the namesake, is an investment firm that owns or has interests in a variety of business assets.[1] From 1951 to 1961, he was the owner of the Empire State Building.

Philanthropy

According to his own claim, Crown had given away "nine figures" in his philanthropic pursuits by the time he turned 79. His beneficiaries included the University of Chicago (Henry Crown Field House, 1931), Brandeis University, Stanford University, Northwestern University (Henry Crown Sports Pavilion, 1988) and the St. Lawrence University student investment fund. The Henry Crown Symphony Hall in Jerusalem is named after him. He endowed the Henry Crown Space Center (1986). At the Aspen Institute he endowed the Henry Crown Fellowship.

Gun control proponents say Trump administration is making America more dangerous while gun rights activists say ATF violates Americans’ constitutional rights.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) recently announced that it had seized 36,277 illegal crime guns and more than 2.3 million rounds of ammunition since Jan. 20, 2025.

Within that total, the agency said it stopped a total of 4,359 firearms and 648,975 rounds of ammunition from getting to organized crime syndicates in Mexico.

At the same time, those on both sides of the gun debate are criticizing the agency. Gun control advocates say that under President Donald Trump, the Department of Justice is failing to deal with domestic issues involving guns.

Gun rights advocates say the ATF is a redundant agency, doing work that other agencies can do, and the laws from which it draws its authority violate Americans’ Second Amendment rights.

Gun control organizations did not respond to requests for comment by publication. However, their websites list their concerns, which include the dismantling of Biden’s gun control agenda.

On his second day in office, Trump closed the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, which was opened by President Joe Biden by executive order on Sept. 22, 2023.

Biden opened the office to “drive and coordinate a government and a nationwide effort to reduce gun violence in America,” the order stated.

The ATF under the Trump administration also rescinded the “zero tolerance policy” implemented by the ATF at the direction of former Attorney General Merrick Garland.

According to Biden administration officials, the policy shut down rogue gun dealers who willfully disregarded the ATF rules.

Gun rights activists say the policy shut down honest businesses that made minor errors in filling out paperwork.

Data released by the ATF in 2023 showed that revocations of Federal Firearms Licenses increased under the policy.

The ATF said it revoked five Federal Firearms License between July 2021 and December 2021. There were 51 revocations reported for the same period in 2022.

Kris Brown, president of gun control advocacy group Brady, said the revocations only impacted a small number of Federal Firearms License holders who willfully violated the law.

“By dismantling this policy, the Trump administration is deliberately empowering these irresponsible gun dealers to operate without accountability, effectively arming criminals who will use these weapons to terrorize our communities,” Brown said in a statement.

Brown said the Trump administration was taking a lax approach to background checks. She also decried a policy to make it easier for non-violent felons to have their Second Amendment rights restored. She wrote that these policies made clear where Trump’s priorities lay.

“These aren’t just policy changes—they’re deliberate choices that prioritize gun industry profits over American lives,” Brown stated.

She also noted that recent reassignments of ATF personnel to assist with the deportation of illegal immigrants only exacerbates the problem.

A blog post on the Everytown for Gun Safety website said the Trump administration prohibited the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) from sharing information with the FBI that would prevent a veteran from purchasing a gun unless a court had ruled the veteran a danger to themself or others.

The post also stated that the VA was ordered to purge thousands of veteran mental health records from the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. This would make it easier for veterans with mental health issues to obtain guns, the post reads.

“These rollbacks advance an extreme ‘guns everywhere’ agenda with life-threatening consequences for our communities,” the post stated.

Attorney General Pam Bondi also set up a Second Amendment Rights office in the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice. Bondi wrote that the office, which opened last December, would “use its full might to protect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens,” in an April 8, 2025, memo.

However, gun rights advocates aren’t convinced of the administration’s dedication to the Second Amendment.

Brandon Combs, president of the Firearms Policy Coalition, pointed out that as the office was being opened, ATF was fighting to keep the National Firearms Act of 1934. This was in response to a lawsuit filed by Combs’s organization.

Under Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Congress reduced the $200 excise tax on silencers, short-barreled shotguns, and short-barreled rifles under the National Firearms Act of 1934 to $0.

Second Amendment proponents expected this would effectively remove the items from the list of firearms that need to be registered. However, the ATF claims that a $0 tax is still a tax and so the items must still be registered with the government.

Several gun rights groups have sued to have the National Firearms Act of 1934 declared an unconstitutional gun registry.

Machine guns and destructive devices are still subject to the $200 National Firearms Act tax.

Combs and others say the ATF and the gun control laws it is tasked with enforcing violate the rights of law-abiding gun owners while doing little to solve or prevent crime.

When asked about the announcement that ATF intercepted guns on their way to Mexico, Luis Valdes, a national spokesman for Gun Owners of America, said that the number of guns smuggled into Mexico from the United States is tiny when compared to the number of guns provided by other sources, including corrupt Mexican officials and international arms dealers.

“It’s not private gun owners. It’s not private gun stores that are the main source of firearms and ammunition for the cartels and the crime rate in in Mexico, it’s mostly the Mexican government,” Valdes told The Epoch Times.

Valdes said the ATF’s regulatory and law enforcement functions could be handled by the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and state and local agencies without violating Americans’ constitutional rights.

“This is an agency that shouldn’t exist,” Valdes said. “Ultimately, we want the ATF to be abolished.”

Fate of walked guns

Since the end of Operation Fast and Furious, related firearms have continued to be discovered in criminal hands. As reported in September 2011, the Mexican government stated that an undisclosed number of guns found at about 170 crime scenes were linked to Fast and Furious.[56] Reflecting on the operation, Attorney General Eric Holder said that the United States government is "...losing the battle to stop the flow of illegal guns to Mexico,"[57] and that the effects of Operation Fast and Furious will most likely continue to be felt for years, as more walked guns appear at Mexican crime scenes.
