The White House is developing a research plan that would guide and set standards for how scientists study one of the more controversial ways of counteracting climate change: solar geoengineering.
The basic idea is that we might be able to deliberately tweak the climate system in ways that release more heat into space, cooling an otherwise warming planet.
The move, which has not been previously reported on, marks the first federally coordinated US effort of this kind. It could set the stage for more funding and research into the feasibility, benefits, and risks of such interventions.
The effort may also contribute to the perception that geoengineering is an appropriate and important area of research as global temperatures rise.
Solar geoengineering encompasses a range of different approaches. The one that’s gained the most attention is using planes or balloons to disperse tiny particles in the stratosphere. These would then—in theory—reflect back enough sunlight to ease warming, mimicking the effect of massive volcanic eruptions in the past. Some research groups have also explored whether releasing certain particles could break up cirrus clouds, which trap heat against the Earth, or make low-lying marine clouds more reflective.

Yes, there should.
But if such a project or test were to come into existence,
the management and administration positions of it would
promptly be filled by mentally retarded chimpanzees.

The expense of this is justifiable to sustain the Liberal New World Order.
Exporting to China? India?
Imagine the physical dynamics of the Earth et al as we haul aZZ through the solar system.
You can’t.....
Any more than you could control the variables that produce the thing humans call “weather”.
That’s the best elevator pitch of the day!
What kind of idiot really believes they can control the climate/weather?????????????????
10% for the big guy?😂
I seriously believe he’s getting more than 10% of all this.....
We’ll be lucky if this hare brained project is *only* a scam (if it ever gets off the ground). It sounds like something that could cause “climate change” for real: an ice age!
Another scam-in-progress.
Mankind isn’t capable of “geoengineering” Earth, and this scam is just another money-maker for the leftist, socialist, Marxist, communist, fascist, anarchist group — aka DNC — to rake in our hard-earned monies.
100 nuclear bombs blown atop our highest mountains to push dust into space and block the hot sunlight. What could go wrong you bigots.

How do they know how much to use? How do you get rid of the extra? We’re not talking about too much salt in the stew here.
That is just for starters!
“A billion here, a billion there; pretty soon you’ll be talking real money!”
Attributed to Senator Everett Dirksen (R-IL), but, apparently, not provable.
Applicable, though!
All of these worthless air management districts reporting smoke from wildfires and not one mention of geoengineering pollution. They need to abolished when the geoengineering is eventually outlawed.
