Meantime we're shrouding the earth in sulfuric acid
So people are terrified about talking about this because they're scared that it will prevent us cutting emissions, right?
And also that it's sulfuric acid
We put 50 million times in sulfuric acid in the air now as pollution and it kills a million people a year worldwide
Okay, but it'll be better if we put more in we're talking about 1% of that 1% more
We're just killing 10,000 more people you can do math. What happens to the sulfuric acid after it's sprayed

Is there any possible way this could come back to bite us in the end actually turns out to be an old idea
This is known since President Johnson. You ever look those planes up there. They have contrails behind them
