Once the nozzle is fine-tuned, the plan is to use a barge to shoot the salt particles into the sky and see what happens.

What could go wrong?

The project needs several more years and millions of dollars in funding before its widespread use.

Of course you need more money, "Science" is expensive.

These guys are going to feel pretty silly when the next Little Ice Age arrives in a few years or decades and they find out they have been accelerating it’s arrival.

When you hear ‘Silicon Valley Scientists’, you would usually think of ‘smart’. Are they that naive or easily manipulated that they don’t know the Earth hasn’t been warming for around 15 years??? It is the Yin and Yang of WEATHER. How arrogant to think that we have anything to do with it!

No this is a good thing. When it goes wildly out of control liberals, being unable to exist without a power grid, will die quickly and in a few years when the climate rights the error, we will be in a liberal free world.

Give them the money!!!

But but but, we are entering a mini-ice age by about 2030.

Wouldn’t painting the clouds just hasten the new ice age?

Oh. They will then paint the clouds black so the clouds will soak in more solar heat.

Got it.

Since water vapor is a greenhouse gas, why doesn’t this process help cause warming?

Ever see the movie “Snowpiercer?” A plot based on future “global warming” that gubments tried to stop and they turned the planet into a giant ball of ice where the only people left ride this train.

We all know AGW is a crock. So if these geniuses shoot salt spray into the sky, and the planet does not warm, as it HASN’T for 20 years, they’ll claim that THEY saved us.

One down side I see is that what goes up must come down. So before long we’ll have salty rain falling on agricultural land, killing crops and corroding everything. But they have such GOOD INTENTIONS, dontcha know.

Lets see if we can ‘help’ glo-BULL warming by throw millions of dollars at it. Last time Global warming was around, Dinosaurs were on the planet.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
