They want to pump sulfur dioxide into the air from 64 stations around the world?
Thirty years ago, the predecessors of these kooks were campaigning for pollution control equipment to keep sulfur dioxide out of the air.
Do they think that if they put this stuff up high in the air it will not work its way back down to us?
Do they think that the rest of the world will just stand by and let them poison the global atmosphere, for a scheme as hare-brained as this?
No one knows what will really happen if they do this. But they are talking about a global experiment, and failure will have global consequences.
Besides, the sun has had decreased sun spot activity in the past three years, and some scientists are predicting a little ice age. The Maunder minimum lasted something like 70 years. Anyone who was perceived to have helped bring such a spell upon the earth would be the subject of scorn, ridicule, and revenge.
These are just like the guys that seeded hurricanes with silver iodide back in the 60’s, in an attempt to ‘rain’ them out of energy.
