🚨Stardust Solutions, an Israeli-US startup founded in 2023, specializes in solar geoengineering, specifically, stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI). This technique aims to combat climate change by releasing reflective particles into the upper atmosphere (stratosphere) to mimic the cooling effects of volcanic eruptions, which temporarily block sunlight and lower global temperatures. On Oct.24, 2025, the company announced it had raised $60 million in venture capital, bringing its total funding to $75 million. This influx supports the development of proprietary aerosol technology and plans for the first controlled outdoor experiments releasing particles from a modified aircraft at about 11-18 km (7-11 miles) altitude
🚨According to experts, this method (SAI), can have temporary positive effects such as reducing temperature, but it also comes with negative and unexpected consequences. These consequences have been identified based on climate modeling and scientific studies, and include climatic, environmental, social, and economic changes. Below, I summarize some of the most important consequences for you; Reduced rainfall in tropical regions. Drought in sub-Saharan Africa, India, and northeastern Brazil. Increased storms in the North Atlantic. Stratospheric warming (up to 2.5°C with sulfate injection). Changes in atmospheric circulations (such as Hadley and Walker) that affect regional weather patterns. Ozone layer depletion, increased UV radiation, and skin cancer risk. Stratospheric pollution by particles (such as alumina or calcite) that can disrupt ecosystems. Reduced agricultural yields due to less precipitation, leading to famine and water shortages. Increased respiratory diseases from aerosol pollutants. UV changes affecting skin health. Regional inequality, where some areas benefit (such as reduced storms), but others suffer (such as drought). Termination shock: If injection stops, temperatures rise rapidly, and effects become worse than before. High costs (billions of dollars annually) and technological challenges, such as specialized aircraft for injection

🇺🇸 #Oklahoma high school principal (Kirk Moore) seen charging at and disarming a school shooter.
The suspect, identified as 20-year-old Victor Hawkins, was a former student who said he wanted to shoot up the school “like the Columbine shooters did.” While taking down the shooter, Moore was shot in the leg. He is expected to recover.
When the Principal woke up that day, he never thought he would be tackling a gunman.

🇨🇳🛢 How much strategic oil does the world actually have in reserve?
Global strategic crude oil inventories stood at ~2.5 BILLION barrels as of December 2025, according to the US Energy Information Administration.
China holds by far the largest stockpile at 1,397 million barrels, more than 3 times the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve of 413 million barrels, which itself sits at only 58% of its full storage capacity of 714 million barrels.
China added an average of 1.1 million barrels per day to its strategic inventories throughout 2025, with preliminary data suggesting it continued building stockpiles in early 2026 ahead of the Iran War.
Japan holds the 3rd-largest reserve at 263 million barrels, followed by OECD European countries at 179 million barrels.
Meanwhile, the US is releasing 172 million barrels from its Strategic Petroleum Reserve to suppress oil prices, part of a broader 400 million barrel coordinated release agreed by 32 IEA member nations in March.

🛢 JP Morgan Warns Oil Market Out of Balance, Prices Must Rise
🔸The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly 20% of the world’s oil flows, has removed 13.7 million barrels per day from global supply in April alone. A JP Morgan research note warns the market has no good way to replace it.
🔸Normally, spare production capacity in Saudi Arabia and the UAE acts as the market’s shock absorber. But that buffer has effectively been removed, eliminating the system’s first line of defense.
🔸With spare capacity unavailable, markets turned to inventories
➤ Global stockpiles are now being drained at ~7.1 mbd in April, an extraordinary pace, according to the note.
🔸Meanwhile, demand is collapsing because supply simply isn’t reaching users — “forced demand destruction.”The hardest hit sectors include:
▪️ Petrochemical plants across Asia are shutting down or slashing output as LPG, ethane, and naphtha flows from the Gulf collapse
▪️ Airline jet fuel ...
🛢⛽️ Global oil inventories are heading toward RECORD LOWS:
Global visible oil inventories have fallen -255 million barrels since the start of the conflict on February 27, to 7,864 million barrels.
Total estimated oil draws, including non-OECD refined products storage, have accelerated to 10.9 million barrels per day in April, the largest monthly draws on record since 2017.
Cumulative estimated draws since the start of the war now stand at 474 million barrels, with Hormuz flows holding at ~10% of normal, or 2.0 million barrels per day.
Meanwhile, even in an optimistic scenario where Strait of Hormuz flows begin recovering by late April, it is unlikely to prevent global visible inventories from reaching all-time lows, according to Goldman Sachs.
As inventories keep falling, physical oil markets are likely to require sharply higher prices for immediate delivery, since buyers cannot wait months for cheaper futures delivery when stocks are running critically low.
