“A pair of Harvard engineers have announced that they intend to spray thousands of tons of particles into the sky to block the sun’s rays—within the coming year.  The pair plan to launch a balloon to ascend 80,000 feet over Fort Sumner, New Mexico, before pumping out tens or hundreds of kilograms of sulphate aerosols into the sky. The idea is that the particles will reflect sunlight back into space, helping decrease the temperature of the Earth.  In theory, they’re replicating the effects they’ve observed as volcanoes spew out similar sulphates into the atmosphere. In practice… well, there is no practice.” [It’s called ‘air pollution’ when anyone but the government does it.]

“This general approach, modifying the planet to address climate change, is known as geoengineering, and, geoengineering proposals like iron fertilization tend to raise many uncertainties and risks. Other geoengineering ideas have included pumping aerosols into the atmosphere to block out solar radiation or tucking away excess carbon in underground reservoirs.  Ocean fertilization is a controversial idea, prompting protest from those who fear the unintended environmental impacts it may have.” [To hell with the environmental objections.  We’ve got an environment to save!]
