# Solar Geoengineering, Extreme Heat and Water Futures - Original post: https://www.twitter.com/i/status/2109117282475815108 - Source account: [@EyesWideOpen093](https://x.com/EyesWideOpen093) - Source language: English - Duration: 3:59 - Published: 2026-10-11 - Canonical URL: https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2nfcFFtCKgrm/en/solar-geoengineering-extreme-heat-and-water-futures ## Transcript [0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2nfcFFtCKgrm/en/solar-geoengineering-extreme-heat-and-water-futures) There is a line of research on what's called geoengineering, which are various techniques that would delay the heating to buy us 20 or 30 years to get our act together. [0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2nfcFFtCKgrm/en/solar-geoengineering-extreme-heat-and-water-futures?t=12) Uh, now the new White House science advisor is talking about much more ambitious ideas, using technology to reset the Earth's climate ourselves, controlling our weather. [0:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2nfcFFtCKgrm/en/solar-geoengineering-extreme-heat-and-water-futures?t=24) Meanwhile, Bill Gates is backing the first high-altitude experiment of one radical climate change solution, creating a massive chemical cloud that could cool the Earth. It's called solar geoengineering and It would look something like this. [0:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2nfcFFtCKgrm/en/solar-geoengineering-extreme-heat-and-water-futures?t=39) Thousands of planes would fly very high and use nozzles to inject millions of tons of light-reflecting particles into the stratosphere. [0:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2nfcFFtCKgrm/en/solar-geoengineering-extreme-heat-and-water-futures?t=47) It would create a thin chemical cloud of those particles around the whole planet, blocking some sunlight from reaching the surface. [1:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2nfcFFtCKgrm/en/solar-geoengineering-extreme-heat-and-water-futures?t=60) Stop injecting it, and after a year, the cloud is gone, and you get this rapid warming at a rate much faster than you would get if we had done nothing. [1:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2nfcFFtCKgrm/en/solar-geoengineering-extreme-heat-and-water-futures?t=75) normal weather. We're finally done, we hope, with the historic summer heat wave we had. [1:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2nfcFFtCKgrm/en/solar-geoengineering-extreme-heat-and-water-futures?t=80) Jim here with us with one more look back and a look forward to what may become a very Hottest summer ever, hottest month ever, hottest July, hottest August, hot- Tonight, a good chunk of the country is feeling hot under the collar as an intense and what forecasters say will be a prolonged heat wave [1:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2nfcFFtCKgrm/en/solar-geoengineering-extreme-heat-and-water-futures?t=101) starts to take a dangerous hold across the middle of the country. [1:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2nfcFFtCKgrm/en/solar-geoengineering-extreme-heat-and-water-futures?t=104) By tomorrow at this time, temperatures will soar into the triple digits as far north as Minnesota. And no, this is not par for the course in July. This month, we have seen more than 900 temperatures meet or exceed all-time records. And of course, July is only half over. [2:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2nfcFFtCKgrm/en/solar-geoengineering-extreme-heat-and-water-futures?t=124) Out west, there is a drought so vast it stretches from fire-ravaged California to drying lakes, rivers, and wells in Utah, Arizona, Colorado, and Nevada. [2:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2nfcFFtCKgrm/en/solar-geoengineering-extreme-heat-and-water-futures?t=134) 40% of our country is in drought tonight. [2:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2nfcFFtCKgrm/en/solar-geoengineering-extreme-heat-and-water-futures?t=136) You may not feel the heat, but you're feeling the impact. [2:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2nfcFFtCKgrm/en/solar-geoengineering-extreme-heat-and-water-futures?t=139) The biggest reservoir in the US just hit a record low. [2:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2nfcFFtCKgrm/en/solar-geoengineering-extreme-heat-and-water-futures?t=143) This is Lake Mead, held back by the Hoover Dam. [2:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2nfcFFtCKgrm/en/solar-geoengineering-extreme-heat-and-water-futures?t=146) Uh, you can now add Planet Earth's most plentiful natural resource to the list of things that investors can trade. Water began trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange today, joining other commodities such as oil, s- The nation's largest two reservoirs, Lake Mead near Las Vegas and Lake Powell, have fallen to their lowest levels on [2:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2nfcFFtCKgrm/en/solar-geoengineering-extreme-heat-and-water-futures?t=163) record. One- So an American company called the CME Group has added water to the futures market. [2:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2nfcFFtCKgrm/en/solar-geoengineering-extreme-heat-and-water-futures?t=171) The idea is f- for you to bet on how well a product will sell at a future date and set a price for it today. [2:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2nfcFFtCKgrm/en/solar-geoengineering-extreme-heat-and-water-futures?t=177) Well, a federal appeals court ruling that the US Constitution does not include the right to clean drinking water. [3:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2nfcFFtCKgrm/en/solar-geoengineering-extreme-heat-and-water-futures?t=185) We're also looking at chemtrails and the impact of emissions, uh, emissions from, uh, from aircraft and those potential impacts. [3:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2nfcFFtCKgrm/en/solar-geoengineering-extreme-heat-and-water-futures?t=200) For the development of a weather satellite that will permit man to determine the world's cloud layer and ultimately to control the weather, and he who controls the weather will control the world, world, world.
