UK Scientists Plan Sun Dimming Experiment

I am, because sunshine is a beautiful thing, isn't it?

I call it the closest physical manifestation we have to God, whatever

or whoever God is. It's literally life force, God

energy, that allows flowers to flourish

and powerful trees to

grow. It allows us to grow food. It heals and nourishes our bodies and

makes pub beer gardens that much sweeter too.

So ask yourself then, why would anyone ever want to block out

the

sun deliberately? What kind of person would want to do

that kind of

thing? Well, if you ever needed proof that we're led by dangerous, incompetent

weirdos, that's what they're planning to do now

here in the UK.

British scientists are launching a forty-million-pound

government-funded

geoengineering experiment to literally test dimming the sun

in the name of solving climate change.

The government's Advanced Research and Invention Agency, or ARIA,

aims to block sunlight reaching the Earth's surface with projects that include

spraying aerosols in the atmosphere to make clouds brighter, which will

then reflect sunshine. What could go wrong?

If successful, ARIA thinks the plan could temporarily,

temporarily reduce surface

temperatures, which would then give humans more time to

reduce carbon emissions

before climate change sends us all to hell.

Aerosols would be sprayed into the atmosphere using boats or airplanes,

which is interestingly a similar process to the one parroted

by so-called conspiracy theorists who have been complaining for years

about what they call chemtrails in our skies, like these on your screen

now. Ah, those pesky conspiracy theorists again.

Anyway, leading scientists are now raising the alarm on British plans

to block the

sun. Raymond Pierrehumbert, a professor of planetary physics at the

University of Oxford, said this month that the UK's gamble on solar

geoengineering is like using aspirin for cancer.

Calling the project barking mad, he went on, "Since twenty

twenty-one commentary from ourselves, the situation has grown far

worse, with tens of millions of dollars pouring

into the scheme, mostly

from private donors. Bill Gates was an early backer, and the

tech and fintech industries have piled on since.

But we never imagined that the UK government itself would be

leading the charge

into what is almost universally recognized as the most dangerous and

destabilizing source of research, field trials that risk developing

dangerous technology and paving the way for deployment." Did

you catch the name there? Bill Gates.

I know many people watching this now will be rolling their eyes at the mention of

the Microsoft billionaire once again.

But it is an indisputable fact that Gates does have his hands in

many controversial cookie jars. This was Tucker Carlson in the US

some years ago, raising the alarm on America's own

geoengineering

madness.

And that's why Bill Gates is now backing something called sun

dimming technology

that would reflect sunlight out of the Earth's atmosphere, causing global

cooling.

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's highly

controversial. It would look something like this.

Thousands of planes would fly very high and use nozzles to inject millions of tons

of light-reflecting particles into the stratosphere.

It would create a thin chemical cloud of those particles around the whole planet,

blocking some sunlight from reaching the surface.

All right, so what do we know about ARIA, the whack-job public body that wants to

block British sunshine? Well, Michael E.

Mann, who is the Presidential Distinguished

Professor at the University of

Pennsylvania, wrote in The Guardian last month, "ARIA,

with an initial budget of eight hundred million pounds,

arose from the fever dreams

of Dominic Cummings at the height of the Boris Johnson crony capitalism years.

After a rocky start for the office, Cummings' legacy lives on in the current

Labor

government, which seems to have lost track of what

ARIA is doing.

ARIA, a wannabe clone of the US Defense Advanced

Projects Agency,

works in darkness. It's not subject to freedom of information

requests. It gives a pot of money to each of its

directors to direct

expenditure largely as they wish, with only minimal peer review.

The director in charge of the solar geoengineering project is Mark

Symes, an electrochemist with no background in

climate science."

Very good. Well, that fills you with confidence,

doesn't it?

And ARIA's thesis document online, which you can go and find yourself, is

titled Exploring Options for Cooling the Earth.

It's been described as chilling reading outlining how the project is going

all in on the supposed need for sun-blocking field trials without making

the case

for what could happen if this was fully deployed all over the world.

What would happen to crops, to farms, to rainfall, and food supplies?

What would happen if the technology got into the wrong hands?

In America, British plans to block the sun have even

caught the attention of Donald

Trump's White House. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the US Secretary of

Health and Human Services, tweeted just a few days ago, "We'll

soon end this crime against humanity and our planet and bring justice to

the plutocrats who are perpetuating this mass uncontrolled

experiment." Meanwhile, the aforementioned Professor Mark Symes,

who's leading the ARIA program in the UK, said the looming threat of climate

tipping points was a strong reason to research solar

geoengineering. He added, "Having spoken to hundreds of researchers,

we concluded that a critical missing part of our understanding was

real-world physical data. These would show us whether any

of these potential approaches would actually work and what their effects might

be."

But I'm sorry, I'm just gonna say tonight outright,

I just can't go along with that

train of thought. This looks and sounds like a totally anti-human,

anti-nature idea that would spark God knows what

consequences for humans,

the animal kingdom, and indeed Mother Nature,

and it should be consigned to

the dustbin of history.
