I as well as my guys have already been reading the nice guidelines found on your site and then unexpectedly I got a horrible feeling I never expressed respect to the site owner for those techniques. All of the people were for that reason glad to see all of them and already have definitely been taking advantage of these things. Many thanks for truly being very kind as well as for deciding upon this kind of exceptional guides millions of individuals are really desperate to know about. Our honest regret for not saying thanks to you sooner.

Why are all the bees dying? Why do we have aluminum levels 100x EPA accepted levels? Why should they be allowed to reflect our solar energy (and pollute) without consulting us? Lets start building and deploying mirrors on our rooftops, shining light back into space. It’s insanity creating more greenhouse gasses for a temporary reduction in temperature – like running up a global credit card!

Geoengineering is not a proposal, but a lethal reality. For any that want to get up to speed on the latest scientific data, check “geoengineeringwatch.org”

I think we just need to slowly reverse our carbon footprint. The Earth can handle a certain amount of polution, we just don’t know what that certain amount is. We breath O2, exhale CO2, trees use CO2, and make O2. We’ve just tiped the balance, and have thrown in some new gases to the mix. It’s just a matter of finding balance. What would really help is cutting back on the worlds population, but, that’s not easily done.

Mike S: Why would we subject Bill Gates to “public scrutiny”? It’s his money, he can do what he wants with it. He is funding research, not experiments; the public’s trust is not a requisite.

Thanks for this. Geoengineering is moving fast, and more public dialog is needed. Hopefully Gates does not envision himself as a rogue savior.
I post – mainly links to articles – on geoengineering on Twitter @geoengpolicy

I support Bill Gates and his philanthropy. However, the most simple, safe, and effective way to combat CO2….plant more trees. Geo-engineering is just a bad idea. How arrogant do humans have to be before they realize they can’t control the Earth, literally?

The Gates Foundation has industry insiders from corp’s like Monsanto who act as consultants, and they make some very bad decisions. I would not trust Gates to do the right thing, ever, without very close public scrutiny.

They have already been using jet fuel to cloud up the atmosphere. There hasn’t been a blue sky since 911. Before long the haze will cover the whole planet.

Jay- good ideas, but collection and storage of CO2 is too expensive and impractical for now. Maybe Gates can spread around his monopoly money to catch carbon and have another monopoly!

“some critics arguing that tinkering with Earth’s natural systems could do more harm than good.”

Lil late to be worrying about that….
