The CIA Wants To Know How To Control the Climate
Taco Cowboy writes " The CIA is currently funding, in part, a $630,000 study on geoengineering, the science of using experimental techniques to modify Earth's climate. Scientists will study how humans might influence weather patterns, assess the potential dangers of messing with the climate, and investigate possible national security implications of geoengineering attempts. The study calls for information on two geoengineering techniques in particular, 'solar radiation management (SRM),' which refers to launching material into Earth's atmosphere to try and block the Sun's infrared radiation, limiting global temperature rise; and 'carbon dioxide removal (CDR),' taking carbon dioxide emissions out of the climate, which scientists have proposed doing through a variety of means, from structures that eat air pollution to capturing carbon emissions as they come out of smokestacks."
How about finding a way to eliminate our dependence on crude oil?
The West would be so much stronger, if it weren't us having to pay jizya to those crude savages in the Middle East.
Oil dependence is about Muslim domination and arrogant Muslim economic power, creeping cultural imperialism, and keeping us weak. How about we kick the oil habit, so we can kick the barbarians to the kerb?
