Bill gates is funding research to spray dust in the skies to reflect sun light, so they say.

What can go wrong?

Bil gates back sun-dimming technology

Quote:" Microsoft’s MSFT +3.6% billionaire founder Bill Gates is financially backing the development of sun-dimming technology that would potentially reflect sunlight out of Earth’s atmosphere, triggering a global cooling effect. The Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment (SCoPEx), launched by Harvard University scientists, aims to examine this solution by spraying non-toxic calcium carbonate (CaCO3) dust into the atmosphere — a sun-reflecting aerosol that may offset the effects of global warming. "

I'm pretty sure the military will not be using this tech to block other countries sun light.


Forget gates, but look at China military build up guys.

Probably about as reliable as windows

So this douchebag thinks he can make that decision for the whole world? He can go f#&k himself.

Didn't Lex Luthor attempt that once in a comic book.

it could have hundreds of unintended after-effects.

Reminds me of the Stephen King short story about 2 brothers and one of them is a genius, he thinks he has found a formula that takes the hostility and anger out of people. He finds a way to get it into the water supply and it works the crime rate goes down. So he goes full-scale nationwide then slowly months later he begins to realize he is getting forgetful and can't do equations he used to. LSS it isn't making people docile it's giving them advanced Alzheimer's that's rapidly getting worse, story is told by his brother who by the end is just sitting in a chair drooling.

Don't screw with Mother Nature...

This is what happens when a guy that is very smart about one thing (computer operating systems), which then makes him think he is very smart about everything else (#ing with the world’s sunlight, vaccines etc).
He starts believing his own press.

Nice story, could be worst, could be the Reaver effect.

I'm pretty sure this was already happening about a decade ago.

Not this one, they were trying to make it rain(cloud seeding), make it not rain(anti-cloud seed), ruining crops(toxic chemicals/Monsanto), testing population(biowarfare test since CIA). Completely blocking sunlight has not been done.

Also known as "Smart Dust".

Ah, okay.

Please pardon my confusion. They were spraying so heavily it was hard to tell.

We’ve already been screwing with Mother Nature for the last 150 years or so and it’s having the unintended consequence of raising the global average temperatutre. We’ve burned a large fraction of the fossil fuel created over the 60 million year period of the Carboniferous in a century and a half and released that carbon back into the environment. If we’re going to screw with Mother Nature maybe we should at least try to do it in an intelligent manner?

The launch will not release any stratospheric aerosols. Rather, it will serve as a test to maneuver the balloon and examine communications and operational systems.

SRM (Solar Radiation Management) would mimic the cooling effects of volcanic eruptions (like Pinatubo) by slightly reducing the amount of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface. The potential ramifications of these technologies are not being taken lightly.

David Keith, a professor of applied physics and public policy at Harvard University, recognizes the “very many real concerns” of geoengineering.

Such methods may be deployed as a last resort against warming but they are not optimal. Reducing CO2 emissions would be preferable.

I have always been a climate change skeptic 100% but after having growing up in the northeast being able to ice skate every winter for a few months to not even being able to the past two years I'm getting a little worried.
And barely any snow. Never been like this in my 31 years. But it could just be a natural streak. Not looking so good tho

I don't mind the warmer weather. *Shrugs*

If we run out of oil for plastics and fuel? *shrugs*

The thing is that realistically we'll have to go with nuclear to get off of oil dependency for energy. But what about oil being refined for plastics? For textiles?

If we run out of resources that are used to make more efficient resources then we'll forever be locked on this planet.

But if that happens? *shrugs*

We are heading into an ice age so they are killing the planet even if it were just spraying what they said.

Take a look at the breaking cold records across the planet increasing every year!

researchers digging through the climate record have reported a chilling discovery: On Dec. 22, 1991, a remote weather station atop the Greenland ice sheet recorded a temperature of minus 93.3 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 69.6 degrees Celsius) — the coldest temperature ever recorded in the Northern Hemisphere.Sep 24, 2020

Do you have a link to that please?

a reply to: makemap

Um? Didn't China have a strange bout of darkness and storms this past summer?

Could that have been a test run of this technology?

You mean a glacial period? We've been in an ice age for a couple million years or so.

But yeah, there will be another glacial period. But probably not anytime soon.

Doesn't gates read the research done by those who study this stuff, they found that Chemtrails and putting reflective dust in the atmosphere actually increased the heat in the areas it was done instead of lowering it. The rays of the sun go through, but do not have the power to go back out and it causes heating. I read a few articles done by places like NASA and some other atmospheric research articles that showed this was happening. energy cannot bounce back out when it gets in.
