Scientists Want to Give the Atmosphere an Antacid to Relieve Climate Change

A group of Harvard researchers led by David Keith, a professor of applied physics and public policy, just proposed a different solution in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. An aerosol of calcium carbonate would have a similar cooling effect as sulfur dioxide on the upper atmosphere and help protect the ozone layer as a bonus.

The approach is akin to giving the atmosphere a handful of antacid tablets. The aerosol would block some incoming solar energy and neutralize airborne acid particles that are bad for the ozone.

Face palm! Srsly? How about a good enema for the warmunists that keep coming up with new "solutions" to non existent problems. Kinda flush them out of our system and start fresh. Fookin' idjits proving once again that being presented with some sort of university degree does not equal actually learning anything. (NO GMOs were harmed in this assessment.)

SO?? What would be the point?? Are they implying that the sun contributes energy that warms the earth? That's heresy! Only humans warm the earth! The sun plays no role, and any discussion of blocking solar energy would be a waste of time.

And I’m sure the article doesn’t mention a price tag for this. The chemical may be cheap and plentiful, but dispersing it in massive quantities at high altitude will be pricey.

Pseudoscientists want to poison the upper atmosphere over an imaginary problem? Nah, can’t be. (Can it?)

"Cooling effect?"

They want a COOLING EFFECT?

We're in another damn POLAR VORTEX and they want a COOLING EFFECT?

It's going to be 3 degrees here tomorrow. Not "wind chill factor" but real temperature 3 degrees.

Cooling effect?!?

I have one question I like to ask the climate freaks:

What are you solving for? What is your end goal?

The sheep tend to get discombobulated. The true psychos admit they want people to go back to walking, riding bikes, and taking public transportation. They want full restriction of personal vehicles.

If you boil it down, this has nothing to do with “climate change.” It’s an attempt to affect social change. The climate ALWAYS changes. They’re called SEASONS. We revolve around a giant star in an elliptical orbit. There’s more to our climate than whether or not we burn oak wood in a fireplace to keep from freezing to death in the middle of winter.

Have you watched the skies the past couple of years?
Aerosoling has been going on big time
Criss cross applesauce plumes of fuzz that linger for hours and spread into a white haze over our former blue sky
Sometimes they even get creative and do spiral plumes
“ contrails’ my patoot
Even plumes being laid in parallel tracks at night
I was wondering how they were going to get Trump to keep paying for this
I think we’ve seen the gambit

Headline would be more accurate if they replaced the word scientists with quacks.

Bad timing for such an announcement.

A similar thought entered my mind.
