No. The science changes when new evidence is found.
As you know science changes its mind because the science changes so the facts and evidence must also change with them right?

We should not sit around no, no, no, we should not harness whatever this power is you’re talking of (HAARP maybe?)

You asked if Ariel Geo Engineering is Good or Bad. I think it has the potential for both.

That's not my theory. That's pretty much the definition of science.
By your theory science is fact at present only but is subject to change upon new evidence, Right?
Yes.
Clearly science is only as good as the information it has to work with Yes.
Seems to work pretty well. This here computer and internetz thingy is the result of science, not superstition.
This makes science inadequate, due to not having all the information to start with.
Scientists tell us they have some facts. Just because they don't know everything doesn't mean they don't know anything. They also tell us, when it comes to SRM, not enough is known about it yet to even consider doing it.
Scientist tells us they have the facts but they don’t..
Mostly for people who don't understand it.
Science, it’s mans interpretation only, and often very misleading.

Yes. The potential for unexpected consequences is present. That's why no one advocates for undertaking any use of the techniques without much more research
There is also the fact that it would have no effect on other problems caused by the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Engineering do nothing to increase CO2. In fact Stratospheric Aerosols are supposed to reduce CO2.
That's not my theory. That's pretty much the definition of science.

I didn't say it increases CO2. Your link says nothing about reducing CO2 because it does not do so. That's the problem.
And they should be counteracting the effects of CO2 not reducing them.

Ok.
That is the definition of how science works.
Happy now?

But you did.
Thanks but really how science works is not what I am asking for.
By your theory science is fact at present only but is subject to change upon new evidence, Right?
When did Aerial Geo Engineering first become an Idea and who is responsible for bringing it to the table?
All of them. Yes, they can be put in this thread.
How many Aerial Geo Engineering applications are we privileged to know about to date can they all be put up on this thread to be looked into deeply?
They all fall into the category of Solar Radiation Management. Broad subcategories include albedo enhancement and infrared scattering. Proposed techniques range from the dispersal of stratospheric aerosols to shiny balloons to reflect sunlight.
What is each Aerial Geo Engineering application one for, the idea of its use?
They all have the same goal, the reduction of radiative forcing
How does each Aerial Geo Engineering application achieve its purpose?
Proposals range from aircraft to balloons and ships.
By what devices are the Aerial geo Engineering applications delivered to the targeted areas?
Proposals include sulfuric acid, metallic particles, engineered particles, salt water...it goes on.
What are the substances used for Aerial Geo Engineering operations?
There a few organizations involved with research. I don't know of any who are implementing any form of Aerial geoengineering.
Is anyone, principal, or agent financing research and or experimenting, and or contracting to carry out any aspect of Aerial Geo Engineering?
If so, Who?

Thank you for that fine input.Are you leaning a little too strongly towards science though considering science is always changing or is it the facts? I don’t know, you all seem a little confused too, maybe its fact and science that are conflicting.

Counteracting only the warming effects. Nothing about ocean acidification.
Yes. We are also doing it with our factories and automobiles. The trouble is, it is geoengineering which contributes to warming.
Couldn't you then say by proxy we are doing Aerial Geo Engineering with Planes by dumping exhaust into the atmosphere? Just not planned or actively...

Kind of interesting to see you take this side Phage.
