Scientists Resort to Once-Unthinkable Solutions to Cool the Planet Three geoengineering projects seek to alter the chemistry of the atmosphere and the ocean. Critics warn of unintended consequences.

Dumping chemicals in the ocean? Spraying saltwater into clouds? Injecting reflective particles into the sky? Scientists are resorting to once unthinkable techniques to cool the planet because global efforts to check greenhouse gas emissions are failing.

These geoengineering approaches were once considered taboo by scientists and regulators who feared that tinkering with the environment could have unintended consequences, but now researchers are receiving taxpayer funds and private investments to get out of the lab and test these methods outdoors.

A freebie from WSJ. You don't get what you don't pay for.

I really don't think anything untoward could possibly happen. These are "scientists," after all. It's SCIENCE, baby!

Watch Snowpiercer. The movie, not the series.

It’s a mad,mad world, that we live in.

These people won’t quit until they kill the majority of the world’s population. Make no mistake, all this GloBull warming and Climutt Chainz crap is 100% meant to kill off most of us.

A reminder, the small red hump on the right (the Modern Warm Period) is what they're trying to save us from like it's some kind of new and dangerous thing caused by man. Really it's the same old cycles we've seen in recorded history.

the only “solutions” that will be implemented to “fix” global warming

will be those that increase govt control

[Da Coyote]

Under no circumstances should we allow these clowns to attempt anything of this magnitude. Think of these “stientists” as the physics equivalent of Pfizer. And we all know how well their COVID ‘vaccines’ worked.

I won’t live to see it but I’ll bet this place will go to “Iceball Earth” (look it up) because of it.

They have ALMOST zero understanding of how climate works but behave like “Experts”.

Communists are very good at solving imaginary problems.

[G Larry]

There is NO “global warming” “problem”, so we REJECT these idiotic “solutions”!!

[SaxxonWoods]

More wasted money, this time perhaps dangerously applied money. Hopefully they will have no effect on anything as usual.

Remember the Matrix conversation that Morpheus had with Neo? Humans tried to “blot out the sun” to starve the AI enemy of an energy source.

” but now researchers are receiving taxpayer funds and private investments to get out of the lab and test these methods outdoors.”

Science is no longer scientific. It is about getting the next government grant.

STOP THE INSANITY! NOW

I love that graph. Thank you! No Greenie has yet to be able to explain to me why Climate Change/Global Warming is a bad thing.

If we’re STILL climbing out of The Little Ice Age of a THOUSAND YEARS AGO, shouldn’t speeding it up be welcomed?

Wouldn’t warmer temps and more crop land land across the globe be a GOOD THING? The countries that can produce more food can feed the rest of the planet - JUST AS THEY DO NOW! Aren’t wars, uprising and general mayhem usually the result of people starving?

Yes, I know. Logic has no place in this argument, LOL! :)

The sun is getting “warmer” every year.
