We’ve been Geo engineering since 1851 when we burned the first hydrocarbon chains from fossil fuels.

There is one very safe and actually beneficial on every level Geo engineering.

The spreading of micro find dust created from glacial marine rock. And incredibly high altitude.

Blocking statistically significant fraction of sunlight if done properly, raising the pH of the ocean and giving much-needed mineral availability to continental bioregions.

No risk, low tech, very effective. What more could you ask for?

This "Make Sunsets" will get totally panned in my next post. Imagine, risking all crop yields, ocean oxygen production, these particles returning to the earth on the polar regions AND THEN selling carbon credits so someone else FEELS GOOD about further polluting? WTF?????

We need to only diffuse 1-2% of the sun's energy to get the intended cooling effect. Fun fact, our method increases crop yield due to diffusion of light and CO2 fertilization: https://keith.seas.harvard.edu/files/tkg/files/fan_et_al_2021_nature_food.pdf?m=1622034220

Fun fact Andrew. We haven't seen any direct sunlight here in northern Idaho for some time with an abrupt change occurring at the end of August 2024; constant dimming to complete grey ground mist. Completely unlike anything I have experienced in my 56 years...Another fun fact, 45 billion missing from the world bank climate fund...Another fun fact, there was once a scientist that discovered the gene for insulin and donated the patent for a buck for public use. We now have people tortured for 1000s of dollars a year after insurance for the right to access insulin that takes literally pennies to produce. .... Do you understand that whatever ideas you have are absolutely irrelevant? It is the banks/corporate private capital and military that wage forever wars on humanity that will be implementing your fantasies, and not in any way that you have invisioned ....It seems pretty clear that global solar dimming is well underway. My question to you how are you personally measuring the effects on human beings? Wouldn't you love to embarass all of us Luddites? Why don't you lead the way demonstrating that what is already underway is not harming us? Where are the agencies that, first, are telling the truth? Testing me, my soil, my water and assessing how well my garden is functioning in response to this onslaught? Making sure farmers don't lose their land as you play God?

Thank you, Aidan! All of these projects wish to will themselves into existence without "free, prior, informed consent" from the affected population: "Father Knows Best" on a grand scale.

Geoengineering is already in progress, however, with the wrong particles size resulting in a massive perturbation of the hydrological cycle.
