These folks are mentally deficient.
They would kill life on Earth to save life on Earth.

It’s going to happen, and it won’t take a fleet of jets (or rockets).
As the Sun’s overall magnetic activity decreases, cosmic rays reaching Earth increase and cause increased cloud coverage.
There are also those who say it will also increase volcanic activity, increasing levels of volcanic ash in the atmosphere.

No, not while my greatest nemesis still provides our customers with free light, heat and energy. I call this enemy, the sun.

As awful as the accuracy of the “educated elites” predictions have been regarding climate change, I dread the unintended consequences of them messing with weather modification.

A planetary population of 30M elites only needs about 200M slaves to serve their needs. The rest of us have to go because we consume THEIR resources and take up THEIR space.

I worry that they will be able to do something like this in the not distant future. If they can do something raal to alter the natural processes of climate then the likelihood, not the “chance” that it will cause something else altogether, such as a rapid onset Ice Age that will then be irreversible because there will be no time to discover and implement ways to reverse what they have done, and even if a reverse tactic is thought to be known and is employed some quite other and deadly effect will be brought on to the earth. If they really can affect things then then they can kill civilization and with it most of humanity. I know they dream of being the rulers of being the Rulers of an Earth with perhaps ten percent of the present population but they would be back, themselves, to animal skins and caves. Being elite is not worth much then.

They would kill life on earth in order to be Kings of the Earth without all those people littering up the landscape. Think here of Faust writ very large.
