Instead of collectively spending $100 billion annually under the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement to combat global warming, developed nations should consider investing just $9 billion in a marine cloud whitening project that could prevent global warming for the rest of the 21st century, according to Bjorn Lomborg, director of a Danish think tank.
Marine cloud whitening mimics the effects of a volcanic eruption by inserting salt particles into the atmosphere to make clouds denser so they reflect more sunlight back into space.
“Spending just $9 billion on 1,900 seawater-spraying boats could prevent all the global warming set to occur this century,” Lomborg, director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, writes in a January 18 column for Project Syndicate, adding that the benefits the project would generate would be worth an estimated $20 trillion. …

Then let the Danes hold a bake sale to pay for it.
But what about the hundreds of billions in grant proposals?
They would be turned to salt.
Better yet nuke mecca. Nuclear winter and end of islam. A twofer
Silly geese. The whole point is to leech more wealth from the beleaguered middle class. A technical solution is a non-starter, particularly one that works.
I will fix it for just 1 billion.
Bjorn Limborg is called a “skeptic” or “denier” by the warmunists, because he questions the wildest predictions and makes relatively low-cost proposals such as this.
You got that right.
We are entering a mini ice age. Stupid people refuse to look to the sun
Team building
I can do it for $9.43. Guaranteed!
What could go wrong?
There’s gonna be natural clouds for all in a few years, as the sun continues to go to sleep.
And, were it effective, probably change the weather in highly unfavorable ways, such as bringing on rapid glaciation.
Don’t let these mad scientists do anything re climate control.
More study needed.
Geo-engineering is legitimately worrisome. It’s enough that there are unintentional consequences to our actions, but it takes a lot of scientific arrogance, in my book, to think we are so smart we can deliberately meddle with the climate, and KNOW all the consequences.
Lomborg bump
It’s not nice to diddle mother nature.
Why do all global warming articles include “could”? It almost sounds like they are just making stuff up.
