Geo-Engineering Through the Introduction of Sulphate Into Our Atmosphere - Yay or Nay??? i say hell to the nay! this is untested science and could have unforeseen results. BAD idea, imo. just not safe. Scientists say seeding the stratosphere with tiny particles could reduce the number of hurricanes by 50 percentAs hurricanes continue to increase in frequency and intensity, a $10-billion-a-year project proposes injecting sulfate into the atmosphere to cool down the Earth and reduce the number of hurricanes by 50% for a staggering 50 years. Covering the skiesBy now, we are all well aware of the impact that anthropog... is having on our planet…or at least, we should be. Although scientists are still debating some of the mechanisms that drive global warming (and their ultimate impact), scientists are not debating whether or not humans are driving these planet-altering environmental changes—sufficient evidence has already revealed that we are. And one of the most prominent consequences of climate change: Hurricanes. Unfortunately, as recent storm systems reveal, it is no longer a question solely of prevention because much damage has already been done. To this end, our efforts must be focused on stopping the damage that’s already begun, and trying to repair the harm we have caused. Fortunately, a host of scientists are already working on solutions. In an attempt to combat climate change, a multinational team of scientists are working on a plan to literally re-engineer the Earth in order to cool it down and reduce the impact of storm systems. For example, a team led by John Moore, who is the head of China’s geoengineering research program, is studying how shading sulfate aerosols that are dispersed into the stratosphere could help cool the planet and reduce the number of hurricane occurrences.
The problem? Such works would eat away the planet’s atmosphere. But custom-made aerosol particles that reflect sunlight, and don’t have a corrosive impact on the ozone, are a viable alternative. The research is still in its infancy, but if proper funding is given to research and development, this could be the way that we prevent catastrophic storms like Irma in the future | |

wasn't my idea
i am KING BAD!!!
you are NOT... STOP ME IF YOU HEARD THIS BEFORE... | |

In addition to all the other crap they're spraying? I guess they'll do whatever the hell they want. | |

Is this about chemtrails? We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Nah. It's not likely to work very well, and even if it did we would be treating the symptoms when we need to be addressing the cause.
