Crops are already failing in England.
There’s NEVER been such cloudy wet weather.
It’s nothing new scientist caused massive flood in Devon in 1952 pouring dry ice into a cloud from above(just read guardian article)
How do we stop these kind of people they are crazy and reckless.
I hope they get extremely the opposite of what they are trying to do like go up to 180 degrees.
But what about air pollution
They want a one world government, currency and climate so they can control everything
May explain why people are constantly sick these days
Any geoengineering is really terrifying..
Criminal… Pos gov
Lolx
“If” the world is getting too hot.
Where is the scientific data that supports this theory?
Sulphur dioxide cools the planet
So all the coal fires in the Victorian period actually cooled the planet not warmed it. OK!
Why do you have to cut emissions when sulphur dioxide cools the planet? We need to have more coal fired power stations.
there were hotter periods a hundred years ago prior to today’s “elevated” levels of CO2. This is more political power grab than scientific fact. Blocking the sun
is a horrible idea.
If anyone has any doubts whatsoever about global warming just take a look at a few websites. Firstly flight radar. You will see literally thousands of planes up in the sky 24/7 every day of the year. Not only are they spewing out co2 and other pollutants but what else are they spewing out ? Massive , monstrous insane amounts of HEAT !! Then go onto marine traffic. You will see 24/7 thousands upon thousands of ships on the worlds Oceans spewing out CO2 other pollutants but also what else ? Massive monstrous insane amounts of HEAT!! Then consider all the traffic all over the world . Millions upon millions upon millions of vehicles all spewing out CO2 and other pollutants but also what else ? Collectively, Massive, monstrous insane amounts of HEAT. OF COURSE THE WORLD IS GOING TO HEAT UP!!!!. It is blatently obvious that the temperatures will rise in exactly the same way the temperature rises in a room that has a heater in it . Global warming is REAL – Wake up people !!!!
Evil on earth !
They're are already spaying our skies all the time. Watch the skies and sée for yourself
THEY ARE CAUSING A CLIMATE CRISIS NOT US
More hubris
Utterly irresponsible
We should start to geo-engineer intentionally, not accidentally as until now.
No other way out of this predicament.
Ask Guy Mcpherson.
We have no choice now due to the aerosol masking effect. If all emissions were stopped today, Earth would immediately warm by an additional 2-3 deg C and that would be catastrophic for all Life.
It’s not a moral conversation … we need to wake up to that reality
Watch the Dimming documentary with Dane Wigington and Operation Popeye 1968.
"History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of men."
Solving a problem to create more problems!
'If anything forces the geoengineering to stop we could get 'termination shock'' while at the same time telling us that they are only thinking about doing it. They have 100% been doing this for several years now. Our 'summer' last year the temperature never got above 18 degrees all through June, July, and August. But they are priming us to accept that we can't stop doing it now, because the result would be 'devastating termination shock'. These idiots need to be stopped, with extreme prejudice.
Wake up this has been goin on for years
When you look at where the money flows you will find more information. The scientists and government officials are getting paid vast amounts of money to further support Geo engineering. What I think is happening they are spraying chemicals and actually creating a much more disastrous climate. Which therefore SUPPORTS the funding! Create a problem and then offer a solution! It’s all a scam!! Either way they get more rich.
Its all a lie really want to depopulate the planet .
This guy's a nut case .
This guy is a nut
the earth will take care of this nut with no common sense .
Of course it makes sense if your a mercenary and predatory globalist DAVOS billionaire looking to create new businesses, markets, and cash flow. If you understand the basics about CO2 physics, you know the AGW hypothesis was dead on arrival with it's model based pseudo-science that defies logic.
Humans have to work with Nature using natural ways first (stopping emissions, stopping trees cut down, planting more trees etc) and then get into their technological abilities to protect natural world using solar geo engineering etc. there is very simple obvious & natural way to protect climate, there needs focus on that fully as primary rather than focusing much more on the scientific research which is a secondary boost and supportive to primary & natural ways to protect globe nature…solar geo engineering can be a temporary boost to kick-off the idea of preserving nature rather than a permanent solution to address the problem of climate worsening change…
Spraying to 'shade the sun' is idiotic. It is killing the trees, tell the truth about the wireless energy cellular transmission control. It is making the atmosphere hotter, knuckleheads.
wow – very eye opening, glad we haven't been doing this for decades
So they're basically admitting the obvious now.
cold we not just transport heat from the sea to mountain tops where the heat can radiate into the cold of outer space?
Chemtrails
If you are afraid of those reflective particles, use volcanic ash!
If nothing is going to be done, humans will soon live underground.
A down side to shading the earth? Gee I dunno. How about PLANTS NEED SUNLIGHT!
Of course we have to cut our emissions but at the same time we gotta make sure that there’s 100% tariff on possibly super cheap EV cars because well we’re a major contradiction in terms
Weather in London is definitely been changed dull and cold even when sun tries to shine ,these lines in sky are criss cross everywhere, if passenger jets flew like this ,there would be collisions.
Killers
Can you please stop doing this, the public are not interested
Hows this for climate change GROW MORE TREES AND STOP DESTROYING FORESTS.
Stratospheric Aerosol injection is heating our earth and waters and they have been full force dor 2 years and continue to do it….
Why ? When has proven a failure.
This article is BS the stratospheric aerosol injection.experiment started in Dec 2022 funded by the inflation reduction act. We have had unprecedented heat and rain since . This should be outlawed around the world
They are not dimming the sun, they are magnifying it, reflecting heat not bouncing it back, they are creating a greenhouse effect, thousands of flights that would never of happened that alone is causing damage
Yeah lets shade the earth in light of a baseless claim that the earth is warming
