Geoengineering - White House proposes blocking sunlight to fight global warming: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
American Thinker ^ | 11/19/2022 | Eric Utter

Posted on 11/19/2022 9:10:26 PM PST by SeekAndFind

The White House recently announced that it was funding a five-year research plan for a controversial proposal to fight climate change by geoengineering — i.e., technologies and processes that can be used to artificially modify the Earth's climate.

This research would be dedicated specifically to a form of geoengineering known as "solar radiation management," which involves spraying fine aerosols into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight away from the Earth.  The hope is that, once the sunlight is reflected, less heat will be generated, and ergo temperatures will go down.  Presto: actual anthropogenic climate change!  A global SPF 100, as it were!

The research reportedly will attempt to model how solar radiation management might impact the atmosphere, as well as assess its viability as a potential technique to be employed to "manage near-term climate risk." 

They're hoping to fight the scourge of climate change by blindly trying to change the climate?  What is it with Democrats?  They're also fighting racism with racial quotas and making race the primary consideration in, well, everything.  That's working well, isn't it?  Next, they'll propose fighting drug abuse by giving out free needles and crack pipes.  Oh wait, they're already doing that.  Why haven't they yet suggested we combat STDs by having indiscriminate sex with as many other people as possible?

Now they're going to "cancel" the sun, without which life on Earth would be impossible?  What could go wrong?!

And would this be a unilateral decision? "Hope the rest of you guys don't mind, but we're blocking the sun! Oops, we didn't expect that! Our bad. Sorry, might be a bit chillier than we'd like for a while!"

Belief in global warming is 21st century mass hysteria.

Originally Gates’s idea. Cut the carbon plants need, and the oxygen we need. Chalkdust.

A Bill Gates Venture Aims To Spray Dust Into The Atmosphere To Block The Sun. What Could Go Wrong?

We live in an ice age - “The Ice Age”. We’ve been in The Ice Age for several million years. fortunately, there have been “Interglacials” (between the glaciers) some 10 to 20 percent of the time. We happen to be in one right now. It’s nearing the end, since it has lasted than some of the other Interglacials already.

Blocking the sun would not be a good idea for future generations.

This isn’t insanity.

They don’t really believe any of this crap.

It’s just the ruse used for another scam.

So you’re thinking nuts instead of unadulterated evil, lunacy instead of money laundering.

Looks like the ruse is working.

Again.

Yeah, let’s block the sunlight. That will do wonders for agriculture.

Those really running the scam, sure.

But they’ve got literally millions of true believers on this stuff.

Any Federal employee will be happy to tell you about how much more money they could make in the private sector.

Which is true.

Except what they don’t tell you is that they’d be making the extra money in the private sector working for a Federal contractor, using their contacts in the Fed as well as their inside knowledge to steer contracts to their private-sector employer.

These guys definitely want a new Ice Age - no heating for you unless you carry the mandatory cell phone and have a Green QR code.

If Global Warming is a problem, SO2 is the solution. Mt. Pinatubo and El Chinchon both released enough SO2 to cool the planet. There hasn’t been a comparable eruption in 30 years, but if there were it would have a greater effect than 10 trillion in solar panels. For $2 billion a year we could put Al Gore and his “re-distribute the wealth to the third world” schemes out of business. Better than putting 60,000 square miles of solar panels over farm land (more than all the paved surfaces in the US).

... increasing the reflectivity of planetary features ...


Just as cities and urban areas do - paving over more of the planet would be a the way to go - who needs stink’n forests and farmland anyway?

The research is another Solandra program designed to construct a system of valves and pipes to drain money into Democrat pockets.

The interesting fact herein is tacit acknowledgement that volcanic activity producing sun blocking ash has lowered the earth temperature on several occasions. It also acknowledges the fact that the sun is the source of heat and climate change

Well, in case there really is a very dangerous global warming (IF!),


Man’s actual contribution to “global warming” = ~0.00012%

Man’s perceived contribution = 99.9%

So.....the fiction that was “Snow Piercer” will now become fact?


Except at the negative temperatures shown on the show, there would be virtually no atmosphere, everything having frozen out. All the characters would be dead from asphyxiation, and the train rails would shatter at any attempt to run a massive miles long train on them.

Grubby grungy show.

While professionals, whoever they might be, may understand the consequences - they will be shouted down, shunted aside, their careers ended.

The WH with Gates blessing will proceed as planned - they know better what’s good for every one; its no different when it comes to climate change, science, weather, etc.
