Climate Scientists Pushing for Large-Scale Geoengineering Funded by Bill Gates
The earth is in a tail spin when it comes to climate change and finding an effective solution, unfortunately this is not an easy task. Emission control is one way, but effectively implementing it on a global scale takes quite some time. Also getting all countries on board, well that’s another problem. Now a handful of billionaires, including Bill Gates are funding some of the leading scientists to lobby governments and international bodies to back experiments into manipulating the climate on a global scale to help prevent climate change.
Any Large Scale Geoengineering Requires Massive Balancing Act
Any attempt to geoengineer our way out of the climate warming mess we’ve found ourselves in is going to take a massive balancing act of sea level rise and surface … [Read full article]
Iron 'Seeding' of Ocean May Promote Toxic Plankton
