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.

If it gets any damn colder we’re going into suspended animation.

Don’t forget Obozo taking away my Primatene mist over concerns for the ozone.

I hope you have a way to get some. For now, my parents go there every winter so we have a source. No prescription needed and they are under $2/each.

It’s stunning how much we pay here and how environmental concerns trump peoples’ need to open their airways.

Some people firmly believe that meds from Mexico can’t be safe, but it was a nurse who picked them up for us. She also has asthma and the US inhalers no longer work for her so she gets hers in Mexico.

The inhalers I’m talking about are the albuterol rescue inhalers. Sadly, symbacort is not available there. It’s the only maintenance med that works for our son, insurance doesn’t allow it at all and we just can’t afford to pay full price for it. The less expensive options don’t have a propellant and they don’t work for him.

I appreciate the info. It’s crazy the cost of some of these inhalers. My mother has COPD and is on an inhaler that cost almost $400.

Symbacort is between $650-$800. Out of our reach.

So, the complainers about too much CO2 in the air want to now spray stuff in the air, to, ....wait for it....to "cool" the earth.

So, some gasses warm, and other gasses cool

I guess, it is because these are THEIR gasses, and not generated by evil white men's ambitious business dealings.

Crank up the industrial waste, Martha, we’re going to kill everyone !

” Sulfates enter the soil from decaying plants and animals as well as from industrial waste containing sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid. The federal government does not enforce legal standards for the amount of sulfate in drinking water, but suggests a level of contaminants in drinking water unlikely to cause adverse effects, called the maximum contaminant level goals, or MCLG. The MCLG for sulfate is 250 milligrams per liter....Sulfites are best known for their allergenic potential, causing asthma-like symptoms in 1 percent of people, according to the United States Food and Drug Administration. Restaurants and manufacturers must label foods containing sulfites.

so basically the earth is going to cool naturally, so the scientists are going to try to get ahead of the curve and “have an effect on the atmosphere.” This is like the Mayans predicting solar eclipses to manipulate the masses.

These people can’t even get their terminology straight. They don’t want to dim the sun, they want to shade the earth from the sun.

Vapor trails from what? I know the contrails from jets quickly dissipate.

They do not sit in the stratosphere for hours and slowly spread out from horizon to horizon. That is Geoengineering for you.

I know they linger if conditions are right. For example if the plane is flying through other cirrus clouds at the same level, the vapor trails will persist as long as the rest of the clouds do.

In any case, there are many clouds in the upper troposphere that are completely natural even if they look unnatural.

They do not sit in the stratosphere for hours and slowly spread out from horizon to horizon. That is Geoengineering for you.

Please post a picture, so I can analyze it.

Goodness! So they want to “fight” the sun? Yes, I don’t think that would end well. Lord, please spare us from the breathtaking arrogance of scientists like these.
