Thread: Geoengineering

  1. #1

    Geoengineering

    Research published in 2018 suggested that artificially cooling Earth could destroy our planet if the process is abruptly stopped.

    A study found that if the aerosol approach is attempted and then suddenly halted, the planet could warm 10 times faster than normal.

    Experts have previously warned the technique is a 'risky strategy' that could wreak havoc on our weather patterns, triggering severe droughts or devastating cyclones.

    The study from Rutgers University in New Jersey found that suddenly halting so-called 'solar geoengineering' would have severe impacts on our climate.

    The stoppage would drastically accelerate climate change, with severe consequences for the planet's wildlife, researchers said.

    'Rapid warming after stopping geoengineering would be a huge threat to the natural environment and biodiversity,' study coauthor Professor Alan Robock said.

    'If geoengineering ever stopped abruptly, it would be devastating, so you would have to be sure that it could be stopped gradually, and it is easy to think of scenarios that would prevent that.

    'Imagine large droughts or floods around the world that could be blamed on geoengineering, and demands that it stop. Can we ever risk that?'
    Oh well, what have we got to lose? Let's just do it anyway!

    I wouldn't have thought that 99% of CCMB posters read the Daily Mirror - and neither would they have been checking the Mirror's website.

    I get you TBG but the story here is that a British rag is trying to pass off 22 deg as a heatwave horror, you and everyone else knows how ridiculous this is.

    the rag in question knows this article will be shared far more often if they do this mostly by people making fun of it

    Agreed but if more and more people see this rubbish the better. The same with the UK government agreeing an experiment to block the sun, conspiracy people have been saying this has been going on for years, the majority will now have to acknowledge it a fact.

    The media clearly have an agenda, but who is setting it and why?

    What's the weather like where you are?

    It's grey and murky here but at least in the UK they've given up any pretence that they are not engineering our weather.

    Legacy media came out in lockstep this week to tell us the UK Govt is funding geoengineering experiments.

    Just as Russian Clusion and 51 intelligence officials with Bidens lappy we have had a few dots of decent weather but the last good spell was at the beginning of C19 where the furloughed enjoyed the sunshine due to the lack of air traffic ?

    It's a long list mate, which makes me think that somewhere between 66.6% and 80% of the population might be totally brainwashed!

    Just caught up with that Daily Mail piece.

    Assuming it is accurate (maybe a big assumption) what are the reasons for objecting to, or mocking, experiments to find ways of reducing global warming? The consequences of continued inadequate action will be immense. Testing out option seems sensible to me.

    Why do tin foilers have such trouble differentiating between climate and weather?

    Any solution is sensible if a problem exists.

    What do you mean by this?

    You don't think man made climate change is happening?

    It's the same with a number of rags. They sensationalise and distort in order in order to sell copy. It's nothing new.
    A London bus found on the moon and Freddie Star devouring a hamster spring to mind.

    more specifically, there have been a number of similar headlines over the last year or two that have ended up getting large numbers of hits, as typically an American on social media will come across this and post it with a caption like

    "your average brit wouldn't survive 10 minutes in Texas mid summer" or something along those lines, which will be followed by a bunch of British accounts arguing back - hey presto; easy engagement farming for the social media account and thousands more views of the article meaning more advertising revenue.

    Indeed. There's money to be made in posting crap online and waiting for the responses to come rolling in, whether it be regarding poor bricklaying, politics, culture wars or 'How many of these 20 things have you done?' The respondents don't seem to realise that they have been had.

    Despite media speculation, next weeks conditions are likely to fall just outside of official Met Office heatwave thresholds. However, this shouldnt lead to any disappointment as many can anticipate a very fine spell of weather with temperatures reaching 27C during the middle of the week.

    Who to believe? The Met Office or the Mirror? Tough one boys.
