A startup says it’s begun releasing particles into the atmosphere, in an effort to tweak the climate

MIT Technology Review ^

[TChad]

He expected they would burst under pressure at that altitude and release the particles. But it’s not clear whether that happened, where the balloons ended up, or what impact the particles had, because there was no monitoring equipment on board the balloons. Iseman also acknowledges that they did not seek any approvals from government authorities or scientific agencies, in Mexico or elsewhere, before the first two launches. 

Reminds me of an old, bad song about the Tijuana jail.

[BitWielder1]

What? No EPA permits, environmental studies and whatnot like you must have if you build a pond?

[KTM rider]

I agree, except for the part about relying on the government authorities for protection

. they would most likely be in on it. Most likely another tax money laundering operation, like solar panels and windmills (and Ukraine)

Reflecting solar energy back into space is CALLED: Global COOLING!

What g- d idiots would want to do this— during this hemisphere’s winter.... that is to say experimenting with GAIN OF FUNCTION so to speak to COOL DOWN a planet that ISN”T heating up in the first place.

This is criminal— if they are getting Federal grant money— find out who sponsored it and in what VOTED expenditure BILL. Hmmmmmmmmmm?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Someone stop these nitwits before they do some major damage.

It is like letting a two year old punch buttons in a missile silo.

They are too ignorant to know what they could be doing.

[Tell It Right]

All this science stuff can be confusing, so I'll see if I can help clear it up.

If you want everybody to transition to solar power, and you want to block some of the sun from reaching the surface ... you might be a Democrat.

[qaz123]

Wasnt this a story line in General Hospital a long time ago.

The EPA will shut you down for a puddle not draining the right way.

And this private company is taking it up itself to do what they want. Someone gave them the nod.

And, if things go sideways it’ll all be blamed on climate change not some company trying to do something.

[Don W]

Sulphur causes acid rain.

[logi_cal869]

Lemme get this straight:

A private corporation intentionally releases pollutants into the atmosphere with stated intention to cause deleterious effects and I face sanction/prison for burning wood on certain days deemed ‘bad’ by the government, to state nothing of the fact that the public is being gaslighted that natural gas is now ‘harmful’.

‘Idiocracy Redux’ anyone?

[smokingfrog]

[bigbob]

That was the demo

[Bonemaker]

I’ll be helping out releasing some particles into the atmosphere a little bit after my burritos, enchiladas and Modelo. Hope it helps.

[ptsal]

Amen
Stop this madness

[joshua c]

the globull warmists would go nuts

they never like it when there is no warming

[butlerweave]

Volcanoes do this all the time but on a massive scale so they’ll do nothing

[smokingfrog]

This guy is a full-blown kook.

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

Idiots! What do they think all those volcanic eruptions in the last year did?? Block the sunlight and cool the planet! Sure, lets cool the planet and begin a new ice age!

Iceland

Hawaii

LaPalma

Tonga

Doesn't even take into account all the minor eruptions that are happening all the time around the world.

[metmom]

True.

They are idiots.

Weather modification by government/military has been documented since the early 1950’s.

Weather Warfare: Beware the US Military’s Experiments with Climatic Warfare

The ongoing debate on climate change including the Worldwide protest movement fails to acknowledge the role of climatic warfare, namely the deliberate manipulation of climate for military use.

There is a vast literature on weather modification for military use. The US Military can control the weather. It is in a position to destabilize agriculture as well as trigger famines.  And that is not a conspiracy theory. it is confirmed by a US Air Force document entitled “Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025“

Rarely acknowledged in the debate on global climate change, the world’s weather can now be modified as part of a new generation of sophisticated electromagnetic weapons. Both the US and Russia have developed capabilities to manipulate the climate for military use.

[sport]

I can’t either. But it is.
