Scientists Suggest ‘Dimming The Sun’ to Solve Global Warming
Breitbart ^ | November 23,2018 | Lucas Nolan

Posted on 11/24/2018 6:12:58 AM PST by Hojczyk

Scientists have proposed a new method to fight global warming: sun-dimming aerosols released into earth’s atmosphere. Research from scientists at Harvard and Yale universities was recently published in a journal called Environmental Research Letters which proposes using a technique called stratospheric aerosol injection to fight against climate change. The proposed technique would see scientists launching sulfate particles into the Earth’s lower stratosphere at altitudes up 12 miles high.

Currently, the technology exists but there are no aircraft suitable to carry the particles and “developing a new, purpose-built tanker with substantial payload capabilities would neither be technologically difficult nor prohibitively expensive,” the researchers stated. The researchers have estimated that it would cost $3.5 billion to launch a system in 15 years time and would cost $2.25 billion a year to maintain over the course of those 15 years.

PhD....Piled higher and Deeper.
How about we build a pair of sunglasses for the Sun?
It will only cost 10 Trillion a year to keep it in orbit.

Where is my 100M in grant money?

A Super Grand Solar Minimum is on the cards beginning 2020 and running for 350-400 years....Winter is coming

Life becomes cold, brutal and short

Bowhunting skills are premium

Expect a crash program to be initiated in Trump's second term to prepare for the coming cold.

(where are the coal and nuclear plants?... shut down all of them...windmills froze solid...solar cells iced over )

“Please, don’t.”

Exactly. I wouldn't even want them to reduce CO2 levels substantially, even if the technology was turn-key ready. When you mess with things you don't truly understand, bad things can happen.

I think ALL of these “scientist” should gather in a room and test out their theory.

Just let ME know where and when so I can “help”. /s

Inhalers from Mexico still work. Another wrestling mom saw our son struggling last year and picked up a dozen inhalers for him while she was on vacation. It cost $20 total and they are like what we used to get here. His $75 US inhalers no longer work.

Yesterday chem-trails were conspiratorially killing us.

Today, they are our saving grace!

Good point. Bad forest management led to many deaths, homes destroyed, lives totally disrupted, but also released a heck of a lot of carbon dioxide into the air - while simultaneously destroying the trees that use CO2.

That is not “dimming the Sun”!!
Plant more trees and shut up!
