Park Life 71 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) US geoengineers to spray sun-reflecting chemicals from balloon Experiment in New Mexico will try to establish the possibility of cooling the planet by dispersing sulphate aerosols Martin Lukacs guardian.co.uk, Tuesday 17 July 2012 13.21 BS The field experiment in solar geoengineering aims to ultimately create a technology to replicate the observed effects of volcanoes that spew sulphates into the stratosphere. Photograph: Gallo Images/Getty Images Two Harvard engineers are planning to spray thousands of tonnes of sun-reflecting chemical particles into the atmosphere to artificially cool the planet, using a balloon flying 80,000 feet over Fort Sumner, New Mexico. The field experiment in solar geoengineering aims to ultimately create a technology to replicate the observed effects of volcanoes that spew sulphates into the stratosphere, using sulphate aerosols to bounce sunlight back to space and decrease the temperature of the Earth. David Keith, one of the investigators, has argued that solar geoengineering could be an inexpensive method to slow down global warming, but other scientists warn that it could have unpredictable, disastrous consequences for the Earth's weather systems and food supplies. Environmental groups fear that the push to make geoengineering a "plan B" for climate change will undermine efforts to reduce carbon emissions. Keith, who manages a multimillion dollar geoengineering research fund provided by Microsoft founder Bill Gates, previously commissioned a study by a US aerospace company that made the case for the feasibility of large-scale deployment of solar geoengineering technologies." Ridiculous. Edited July 17, 2012 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21643 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 The possibility of geoengineering was never dismissed; the issue under question was the cover up and conspiracy. Interesting blast from the past though, cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
