Yes. It is the same effect as a volcanic winter in which everything dies.

“test the system by sending a large balloon 12 miles above the Swedish town of Kiruna and have it drop 2kg of chalk dust “

That is NOT testing the system. That is a one-time action. What they want to do is permanent. Flying 100 planes all the time which would constantly dump dust. It would not end.

There is no way to test the system. You either do it for real, or you don’t. Like the vaccine, nobody knows what will happen, but you have a few billion people scared to death of “global warming” who will surely think this is a good idea.

This super rich man is an insane monomaniacal despot who wants to control and change the world.

If you cut down on the sunlight reaching the surface of Earth, you cut down crop production, and cool the planet, meaning harsher winters and millions of deaths.

Don’t mess with nature’s cycles. Go back to trying to make Windows work right. You almost have it with 10. Keep trying. You’ll get it right one day.

‘Something about being super-rich turns one into a Bond villain...’

sorry, but that’s nonsense...super rich people have transformed the lives of humankind from short, brutal, and nasty affairs to at least a semblance of happiness and dignity...

Has he been reading/watching Snowpiercer and seen himself as the madman billionaire running the perpetual motion train around a frozen world?


That show has no concept of temperature - to them cold is just cold, but the temperatures they shown on the screen would freeze the atmosphere out. There would be no free oxygen for them to breathe. Their cold suits would shatter with the first step they took, as would the metal the train is made of and the rails it runs on.

Gates would just love it - controlling even the oxygen people need to live.

“Back in the seventies, when they thought we were entering an ice age and before it suddenly changed into we are going to burn up, some had thought blowing up glaciers would be a good idea.”

They also contemplated dusting arctic areas with soot, to absorb sunlight.

One day, a megalomaniac like Gates WILL screw up the world badly.

Exactly. Gates has apparently gone past his expiration date.

I want Bill Gates to go back and make DOS a better operating system. Then he can come back and tell me about climate change. 25 years from now....

Gates is totally nuts. Trying to play God always results in disaster.

Gates, like most of the “elite”, doesn’t like competition. He would be just fine if himself, his wife and concubines, a few close friends, and a handful of laborers had the earth to themselves.

What gives these people the right to effect our world for their elitist beliefs? They have too much money, but that doesnt give them the authority to modify our world.

Chalk is calcium carbonate (CaCO3). If it gets hot, it releases CO2.
