President Trump issued a sweeping executive order on Tuesday that will begin to undo a slew of government efforts to fight global warming.
Among those worrying and watching to see how the executive order plays out are scientists who actually are in favor of exploring bold interventions to artificially cool the climate.
Just a year ago, some hoped that the U. S. government would start funding such research and take a leadership role. Back then, advocates for the work saw public funding as ideal, because it would foster transparency, accountability and public trust.
But now that the Trump administration is in charge, those folks have changed their views.
David Keith, a climate scientist at Harvard University who is planning to use a balloon to test putting particles in the stratosphere as early as next year, is well aware of the need to reassure the public about his small experiment.
"We are horrified by the idea that there might be some huge backlash," Keith said, "and so the questions of how to avoid that are top of our minds."
He used to want public funding, he said, partly to inspire trust. But, for now, he's happy to stick to private sources.
"I am more comfortable," Keith said, "taking money from clearly environmentally aligned philanthropies or philanthropists than I am taking money from the administration."

Of course they will. Where does climate research money come from? What will happen to any “scientist” who actually analyzes data correctly and writes about it?
NPR is such a joke. And, of course, those loons are also sweating the fact that they just might have to actually earn a living by getting funds from folks who are willing to pay to listen to them.
Cult Followers Who Want To Study Climate Engineering Shun Trump
Which, of course, it did none of.
Oh Dear, they're using that word again.
After the East Anglia were exposed, they stopped using it and went to "climate change".
Guess they think we forgot.
Well you just go do that, best of luck to you.
Obviously these bold intervention scientists do not read history or, more likely, have egis so big they cannot possibly be wrong. Look at all the examples of knowingly importing a new species into an environment to control pests. And these guys want to do another mini ice age.
This is a big joke and scam; research money to liberal colleges on how to cool the planet with smoke and tin foil? Go Trump.

“I am more comfortable,” Keith said, “taking money from clearly environmentally aligned philanthropies or philanthropists than I am taking money from the administration.”
ANd the best part is that now you can be PROSECUTED AND THROWN IN PRISON for FRAUD when you Falsify your research using private investments.
‘Cult Followers Who Want to Study Climate Engineering’ AND suck at the public trough for doing it - shun Trump. The rest of us celebrate the glorious return of some semblance of Common Sense to the government.

What happens when there is mass starvation caused by crop failures due to their artificial cooling? Do they even know what the optimum temperature is?
Maine is cold enough.
If David Keith’s stupid experiment works and northern states become even colder, can we sue his a$$?
My grades were rarely the best in class, but I'm pretty sure that biological science considers carbon dioxide to be essential to life on earth, not a pollutant.
As far as these 'settled scientists' are concerned, mocking, ridicule and public shaming are all too good for them, but we shouldn't let that stop us.
They've earned all of that and more.
Dr. Mann, what happened to the raw measurement data you processed to "prove" your temperature hockey stick graph which is the core of much of the global warming belief system? Did your dog eat it. So much for transparency, accountability and public trust.

AKA the criminally insane
Time for the Liberal Private Sector to put its money where its mouth is. Invest in these kooky Climate Change developments and get rich.
Do it Libs. Do it.
Grant seeking crooks hardest hit.
