Technology Controversial Billionaire is Quietly Plotting on Blocking Sunlight from Reaching Earth

I actually suspect that if successful it would have immediate and possibly dramatic results. Just grounding all the planes after 9/11 changed the temperature by 2 degrees, blocking a portion of solar energy could have far more impact.

With all due respect, I call bullshit on such a claim.




The most hilarious part of all that was that it killed tons and tons of climate models. Everybody in the business started with the assumption that contrails increased global warming and we had to strongly regulate the airline industry in order to fight climate change. Then planes actually got grounded and they discovered, oops! The contrails actually reduced temperate measurably and all their models were wrong because they started with a fallacious base assumption.

Somehow they didn't get around to wanting to subsidize airlines in order to fight global warming though...

Thank you for the links, but I do not believe in the "A" of AGW.
Also - I don't trust the BBC or CNN to give me the correct date.

Its like a simpson episode come to life



So a baby's gonna shoot Gates?

Speaking of which, all those environmentalists love solar power....now those solar panels will be even more useless due to even less sunlight

Many forests and animals and farms will also lack the Vitamin D necessary for growth

The arctic may actually get even colder.....they may actually kill off the Polar Bears more than "Global Warming" ever did

It's worse than a Simpson's episode. Only The Highlander can save us now.

The first source you have says there was a 2 degree increase in the difference between high and low temperatures. This is pretty different from at least the normal interpretation of "changed the temperature by 2 degrees."

That's... the normal interpretation of that phrase? The temperature change went up by 1 degree at the low end (actually closer to 1.1) and the same on the high end. If the temperature only went up or down I would have called it an "increase" or "decrease." You use flat "change" when it's not in just one direction.

It doesn't say anything about the average, though. Before I looked at your sources I assumed that you meant that average temperature had either gone up or down by two degrees, but you weren't specifying which one.

Maybe your usage is standard, but for laypeople like myself it's at least ambiguous, so I thought I'd clarify for anyone like myself reading through who didn't read your sources and made the same mistake.
