Criminals.
I hope they get knocked off by their guards in their bunkers so the guards can have free access to the supermodels that the billionaires hoped to wile away their time with.
Dune used to be called Earth before Gates showed up.
Not possible.
This is *Day After Tomorrow* grade scientific stupidity.
Cyclones and Hurricanes are heat exchangers, taking heat from the surface and transferring that heat into the upper atmosphere - where that heat is “spent” to space.
And just where are they going to put this water vapor they strip out of the atmosphere? Back in the oceans from where it came?????? Just to evaporate again?
Having money does not equate to having brains. Bill Gates proves that every day.
Do not start vast projects with half-vast ideas.
A crackpot venture with half-baked ideas about how water vapor REALLY works, besides its enormous investment, goes against the very nature of the “triple-point” capability of the water molecule. Under conditions that exist in many places at or near the surface of the earth, water can exist as a gas, a liquid, or a solid. To that add the high degree to which water becomes a nearly universal solvent. Water chemistry is a highly specialized field even within the bounds of chemistry, and it has overlapping characteristics which involve the physics of water in its many applications.
The very notion that the stratosphere could be somehow dehydrated is a pipe dream in itself. Is the upper level of the atmosphere to be seeded with some chemical that absorbs the water molecules? What becomes of these absorbed water molecules, which by their very nature have to be heavier than air, as these compounds fall through the lower part of the atmosphere and sink to the ground or back into the surface waters? And how is the stratosphere to be kept free of water molecules, as clouds of moisture continue to ascend to that level?
Gee, I wonder what a universally respected religious leader like, oh I don’t know…the Pope might have to say about this kind of playing God?
Just kidding of course.
What could go wrong.
Not a good idea.

More insanity!
Please come back soon, Lord Jesus. Redeem your believers and your creation.
I remember the 1970s when the big bold plan was to mine coal, grind it to dust, mix it with oil and spread it on the ice fields to INCREASE warmth and stop THE COMING ICE AGE!
Now another wild plan from “Schemes and Dreams” is being considered to block heat from the sun. Why not just have more aircraft produce contrails as these block the sun. On 9-11 the temp of the US actually went UP when all aircraft were grounded.

If only human beings were able to adapt to the environment instead of using the collective output of civilization to literally tilt with windmills against all the forces of Creation.
