They want to GENETICALLY-MODIFY THE SKY?!?
LOL
They're out of their fucking minds.
From the Independent:
A controversial proposal to cool the planet artificially by injecting tiny reflective particles into the upper atmosphere which block out sunlight would cause droughts and climate chaos in the poorest countries of the world, a study has found.
One of the more serious plans to “geoengineer” the global climate would in effect create another climate catastrophe that would result in misery for millions of people, according to a computer model of the plan.
Some climate researchers have suggested that mimicking the cooling effects of volcanic eruptions with massive injections of sulphate particles into the atmosphere may be necessary in an emergency if global temperatures and carbon dioxide levels continue to rise unabated.
It is known that the sulphate particles produced by volcanoes, which are relatively quickly washed out of the atmosphere, can reduce incoming solar radiation significantly, and so cause average global temperatures to dip.Actually, I'm not truly against the idea of man learning to control the weather. But it strikes me as searingly ironic that the same people who have anxiety attacks at the thought of Genetically Modified Foods, the same people who believe man causes massive changes in the macro-weather patterns by farting into the wind, the same people who believe that human beings are a poison to the Earth, these are the people who suddenly want to reseed the sky.

Sounds like a GREAT idea, but what's the carbon footprint of these planes 'Spraying' that stuff? hahahaha.
PS: Pasto don't know what's going on but got a 'shadow' looking over my shoulder, sometimes he scrolls the page faster then me.....
Also blog post i post disappear from the web after being posted, have to redo them....who can scrub pages that fast from the web?
When you re-post the information, does it stick, or does the same information come down over and over?
I rewrite the whole post since it's gone, republish it but then it stays BOTH posts use the same URl although on Google + there's a publishing difference in time of 35 min.And it shows two different postings.
Whom shall we entrust with the responsibility of engineering the Earth's weather and climate? I know: Bill Gates. The man cannot come up with a workable version of Windows until he releases several service packs (code word: we cannot get it right). Sure, he is the guy I want tinkering with the weather.
It might be good that we leave well enough alone. But I think humans do some amazing things when they poke their noses into nature.
The problem is the government deciding.
Human have been poking their noses into nature since very early on.
If it were not for man, we would not have corn or cows.
Of course those are just 2 of many examples.
People totally freaking out about the GMO business is just crazy.
Considering how much genetically engineered stuff we have been putting into our bodies for so many years, you would think we would all have 4 ears and 2 heads by now, if there was a risk.
Like you Pastorius, I think it is very hypocritical for these lefties to be talking about messing with the environment.
Various types of genetically modified foods are making it so there is almost no problem with world hunger anymore and the only problem there is is from governments, not lack of food.
Add some potassium chlorate and blow up the atmosphere. Kaboom!
