And Bill Gates is now an atmospheric expert, a vaccine expert and Mr Microsoft? Where did he get all these PhD’s?

Blocking the sun seems dangerous in so many ways.

Thank you! Was having a rough afternoon, but listening to the first 5 minutes of CDT brought a smile to my face and a much better rest of the day!

The wisdom of Jesus Christ in the eye of a needle... Something about being super-rich turns one into a Bond villain, and Mr. Gates is the best example of this.

Cut to the chase, Bill, let’s go straight to Ice-9 and get it over with.

Is anyone/as anyone watched Snow Piercer? Some smarty pants scientists shoot stuff in the air to stop global warming and it causes the temps to drop to -140F and causes a massive die-off of humanity -only people left are those on the train, circling the globe. Pretty grim.
Yeah....that’s just what we need, a globalist who wants to get rid of 9/10 of humanity shooting something into the air...

Is there a term for an individual who is so determined to not only celebrate their own failures but also force them on others?

___________

control freak ...

Control Freak is certainly part of it but the other part is the celebrating of failure. "Festering Failure" maybe?

Basically, this is the backstory for the post-apocalyptic movie “Snowpiercer”.

What is old is new again. I did a paper for a college meteorology class back in the late 70s that discussed climate altering schemes to include sending aerosols into the stratosphere and spraying a surfactant on the Gulf of Mexico to reduce evaporation and to minimize severe weather.

What a dunce.

Sorry if these links have already been posted.

Yes, nature has already disastrously shown that the sun can effectively be dimmed.

Great. Chalk dust in the air. This schmuck does understand that this dust will not remain in the upper atmosphere forever, right?

“Could dimming the sun help to cool the Earth? Bill Gates wants to spray millions of tonnes of CHALK into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight and slow global warming - but critics fear it could be disastrous”

It wouldn’t be disastrous for Bill Gates. He would just retreat to his billion dollar hidey-hole and wait till the air cleared..and then enjoy the new world without so many people which is what he really wants.

Try explaining that fact to one of these wacko freak nut jobs these days.

The fact is, the “norm” we are experiencing are not thee norm. The earth goes from one extreme to the other and the present “norm” last for a very short time.

But like I said...explain that to the wacko freak nut jobs.

All it would take now is for something to happen to kick us over the edge into another mini ice age, at the least. Just 10 to 15 thousand years ago-or less than a blink of an eye geological time wise, earths last ice age was ending.

Last time I heard chalk caused cancer...talc does anyway. It must be true, so who is going to pay for all the cancer victims?
