Combatting Global Warming With Artificial Volcanos?
An anonymous reader writes, "Some scientists are suggesting that a short-term solution to global warming could be to inject sulfate-based aerosols into the stratosphere as a 'sunlight-reflecting, cooling foil.' Tom Wigley of the National Center for Atmospheric Research says that adding just 5 million metric tons of sulfur dioxide annually to the stratosphere 'would have a significant influence.'" From the article: "Constant aerosol production also could mean we wouldn't have blue skies anymore, and it could reduce incoming solar radiation enough to hobble such imperatives as replacing fossil fuel with solar energy technologies."
This could be a much cheaper way than jets spraying chemtrails 24/7, which is what the US military is doing. Or haven't people noticed? I've watched very high altitude jets flying a geometrically regular pattern over Central California over the Central Valley. I once drove down I-5 and watched the sky for the better part of the day. The sky was clear at dawn. Shortly thereafter, jets began spraying. No, these were not commercial airliner trails. LAX was to the south, and SFO to the north, and these were not going to or coming from these major 'ports. By noon, the trails had diffused widely over the sky, and it was uniformly gray. These trails tend to hang for hours - normal contrails do not. Friends tell me this is a regular occurrence. It's pretty clear the government is well aware of global warming and probably has combined military needs for radio-reflectivity in the atmosphere with the need to block solar radiation in the same missions. Of course, they aren't bothering to tell anybody about that they are spraying, and its possible effect on our lungs and agriculture.
Um, I just want to thank the guy who's following me around Slashdot and modding my posts 'troll'. It's much nicer than the police attention since my multiple child-abuse and spam convictions. Although I hope the cops don't find out about the girl buried in the slave pit in the woods. Have a nice day, and if you work for Microsoft, at least have a nice conscience-free day.
