Geoengineers to Start Volcano-Inspired Experiment in Risky Climate Manipulation?

~ The Rebel ~ 2012/07/18 11:59:43
Two investigators are continuing down the risky path of geoengineering by readying a field experiment involving spraying chemicals into the atmosphere that would theoretically bounce sunlight back into the air to cool the Earth, the Guardian reports. But risks of geoengineering are high, and pinning hopes on a technological fix to climate change may thwart greenhouse gas reduction efforts while doing nothing to change the paradigm that created climate change.

One of the two Harvard engineers in the Fort Sumner, New Mexico, experiment is David Keith, manager of "a multimillion dollar geoengineering research fund provided by Microsoft founder Bill Gates." Their idea is to mimic the planet-cooling effect that happens when volcanoes release sulphates.

Yet many say the risks are serious and potentially disastrous.

    If it reflects the sun away from the earth will it also reflect the heat that earth itself creates back towards the ground? Also I worry that they may be the first to create a man made ice age.

    Not that I believe in MMGW or have any faith in these fairy dust "solutions" but I do have to laugh at the anti-capitalist environuts outright rejection and fear mongering the idea of a possible innovative technological approach to the problem.

    Oh my, if something as simple as this were to work it would threaten to totally screw up the statist goon rationalizations for more top down controls as well their plans for extorting trillions from "evil mean dirty rich" producers LOL.

    These idiots need to STOP messing with the earth's climate and STOP PLAYING GOD!
    And people still doubt Chem Trails?

    chem trails

    Wake up people.

    There is nothing worse than a bunch of egomaniacal libertards who think they can save the earth. Hold on to your seats. These idiots could make a real mess.

    What does the EPA have to say about this...they are always looking into Environmental stuff. AND...if the government is in control of this... GOD HELP US!!

    "...involving spraying chemicals into the atmosphere...". Here comes the NWO "control the population".
