CIA investigates weather control technology

EXCERPT:

The CIA is spending $630,000 on the concept. It closed its research centre on climate change and national security last year, after GOP members of Congress argued it was a subject the CIA shouldn’t be looking at.

The researchers are looking for a “technical evaluation of a limited number of proposed geoengineering techniques”.

This will include trying to work out which geoengineering techniques are feasible and try to evaluate the impacts and risks of each.

One method is a study which will look at pumping particles into the stratosphere to reflect incoming sunlight away from the planet.

There is a theory that solar radiation management could lead to a global cooling trend that might reverse, or at least slow down, global warming. There are other plans to look at removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

if you could control the weather for $630K, wouldn’t someone have done it already?

I've typed my comment in 5 times, only to start over because words fail me.

I can't believe how ridiculous this is.

RE: if you could control the weather for $630K

That $635,000 is for a STUDY. How much it will eventually cost ( if it is even remotely feasible ) is anybody’s guess.

It is getting cooler. Do not try to make it cooler as that will lead to crop failure.

Stop spending money on the global warming claptrap and get down to the business at hand.

Well, the CIA is testing that to see if the statement can be falsified...

Global warming is non-existent. It is a ruse a false crisis to justify more regulation and control, the loss of liberties and the transfer of wealth to the wealthy. There has been no global warming in 16-17 years. How can they blatantly go ahead with this as if everyone still believed in the crisis? It pulls back the mask and shows our government for what it is - a totalitarian state.

Apparently it worked, global temperatures have stayed about the same for 15 years now.

RE: Global warming is non-existent.

I think the enviro wacko’s have silently conceded that... that’s why you seldom see that term being used anymore.

Now it’s the catch-all phrase — CLIMATE CHANGE (one they can use both when the temperature goes up, down or sideways ).

They’ll need possession of the Ice Princess Diamond to make the machine work and I believe it’s back in the hands of the Cassadine family. Where’s my Member Only jacket?

Paraphrasing some famous cynics:

“everything that will be invented already has been invented”

“a heavier-than-air flying machine cannot exist”

“space travel is impossible”

man cannot control nature

BUT HE SURE COULD MAKE SOME DANGEROUS MISTAKES TRYING!!

Given that this is a GUBMENT project....ANYTHING is possible.

I hesitate to Speculate what sort of unforeseen “problems” could be be generated by the sort thoughtless actions such a governement project.
