I wish he and his wife would go on a three-hour tour.
A three-hour tour.
PlanetFreeWill: A Bill Gates-backed project aims to stop climate change by dropping tonnes of chalk dust into the stratosphere, The Times reported. According to the newspaper, the initiative funded by several private donors, including the Microsoft co-founder, will be the first serious attempt to deal with the issue of climate change by dimming the Sun.
Essentially, scientists will attempt drop chalk dust in the atmosphere hoping it will create sunshade that will reflect some of the Sun’s rays and heat back into space and dim those that get through, thus preventing our planet from getting warmer. read more
What the f*ck gives Bill Gates the right to mess with the climate of the planet? This affects every living organism. The sheer hubris is off-the-charts. And what if they get it wrong and overshoot? What about unintended consequences.
Stay in your lane, Bill. Go back to making updates to your operating system that mostly work.
Gates sends up another 404. Brain not found.
I wish he and his wife would go on a three-hour tour.
A three-hour tour.
… on the Titanic.
Gates does that and lawyers will have a field day suing him for everything bad that happens because of the weather. Lawyers love to sue deep pockets.
* …the first serious attempt to deal with the issue of climate change by dimming the Sun.*
It would appear that we could be on the cusp of a Maunder Minimum, a period of low sun activity which is thought to bring cooling to the earth; in essence, the sun dims itself. The last Maunder Minimum was thought to be responsible, at least in part, for the Little Ica Age. So throwing who knows how many tons of chalk dust into the equation will have effects that cannot be predicted but can be expected to be both unexpected and possibly disastrous.
Summary: This is the dumbest fucking thing I’ve read today and will continue to be foremost among dumb fucking things for a good number of consecutive days, at least until Biden* wakes up and signs another EO.
oh sure – block the sun’s rays from getting through
what about the millions of solar panels that have been installed to generate solar energy – what are we going to run our electric cars on – hamsters in a wheel
Throw the net over this crackpot
Oh, the experiment didn’t work out quite like we planned. We killed millions of people by accident. Or did it? BWHAAAAAHHAAAA!!! Please die.
One look at all his fail Operating Systems should give you the heebee jeebees about this hair-brained idea!
What about his GIGANTIC FUCKING CARBON FOOTPRINT!
Today I did a NO HEAT service call at a Hot Yoga studio.
Typical Owner driving a Prius because of the environment.
I explained to her for years that running her GAS heat in the summer with her Electric radiant panels turned on to get the studio up to 95-105F is killing her machine.
“I don’t care, I need it that hot.”
They finish class, and switch the machine to COOLING.
Next Class – Back To HEAT.
They look at you like “You don’t get it” as they burn resources like crazy and tell us “we all have to change”
Bill gates could easily save a few million tons of polution if he would just 1) stop fucking up Windows, and 2) throw himself into a Volcano.
Right about now I can think of a better use for chalk dust.
I worked at the prestressed plant that designed and manufactured the stairs and other features for his home in Medina. The carpenters and other tradesmen could only actually get in a partial day’s work because of the kids naps. This greatly frustrated actually accomplishing many aspects of the work. His wife was unconcerned about cold joints ( a particularly bad Idea when you are dealing with highly stressed components) in the concrete and other jobs that absolutely demand continuity. Just delivering the damnable things was a major hassle, but installing these features was made almost impossible due to their demands on the contractors. And, you guessed it: They were “experts” about everything after consulting with their soothsayers or horoscopes. He believes the entire world revolves around him, the rest of his damnable family is at least as self important and all knowing.
I’ve often wondered if it was money that made people stupid or is it just naturally for them? But then there’s the world of my dead blue screens that he produced.
Tell me again where he got his doctor’s degree?
Ctrl Alt Delete this piece of excrement.
He should never be forgiven for all Windows products. Including every operating system since XP, plus Word, Excel, etc. All of it. It’s all crap.
It would only take about 90 grains of lead to slow Bill down…
Does he really think loading up the atmosphere with chalk is really going to help the planet? 🤔 The absolute gall of this man. 🤬
You know BILL you don’t mess with God’s creation without consequences.
The effects of his proposal can’t be completely known. There will be unforeseen consequences. All the studies and modeling in the world will not be able to foresee everything that could happen from such an extreme act.
He’s fucking with every living thing in the world. The word for that is insane…worse than all the tyrants in history combined.
All the billions of insecure scared people in the world will support his crazy scheme. It’s the blind leading the blind. Are there no sane people running things anymore?
I bet the son-of-a-bitch does not even accept the blame when his products fail and we lose valuable information and lost productivity.
Yeah, he’s rich and powerful, but stupid as a brick. Bad combination.
@TRF
Great comment, but it is “hare-brained”…like a March hare that is climb-the-walls crazy…very fitting for Gates.
I’m not usually a Nazi spell-checker, but thought you might appreciate the gentle correction.
Don’t worry Bill, there are a bunch of volcanoes just about to do it for ya… It’s been going on for BILLIONS OF YEARS.
TimBuktu – Thanks! I get Hare-Brained and Hair-ball mixed up.. both of which apply to that Jerk!
Here’s how to stop this scheme in an instant: Have Trump announce he’s in favor of it and will invest in it.
Injunctions will fly out of the courts.
I would be much more open to spreading Bill’s ashes all over the local landfill. And anyone who believes that tampering with the plant’s climate is a good idea as well.
Anyone who believes that tampering with the planet’s climate has got an ego bigger than his britches…
(which is where his brain is anyway)
Magic marker would last longer.
I thought we were all going to paint our roofs white? LOL
Hey mrs Gates. Your son’s dim.
Chalk dust causes cancer.
And aggravates COPD and Emphysema.
All the teachers who used chalk in the classrooms 150 years ago ARE ALL DEAD!
You could look it up!
izlamo delenda est …
Strange….They don’t believe in GOD but they love to play the part.
If Bill Gates were to be crushed to death by the weight of his own money, it would be fitting…and just.
Just sayin’
^^^ Whut does Hubris weigh?
All of Bill Gates billions of dollars hasn’t bought him a lick of common sense. I’m just a poor working class schlub and I have far more common sense than he ever will have.
Gates has lost his mind. He misses Epstein, too.
Once that get’s started – ejecting dust into the atmosphere, I’d like to know how Bill Gates and his gang plan to stop it and reverse it when it most likely becomes a death sentence to the world.
How do you bring back chalk dust that has been injected into the atmosphere?
Holy clapping erasers Batman! Yer gonna cool the planet!
The only thing that would really be cool is if the elitist liberals were decimated.
Chalk dust = Talc.
Isn’t that what Johnson & Johnson is being sued for?
He’s gone certifiably insane.
TimBukto,have you not seen Space Balls you just use a vacuum and supper suck.This should work.

The guy has lost his mind.
I question the wisdom of following someone who gets his ideas from the Simpsons
I’m tellin’ ya, he’s demon possessed. So is his fugly mate.
Something is seriously wrong if one person can amass such wealth in less than 30 years.
Gates should learn to fly, not instruments, just casually. Then fly into the sunset.
After throwing massive tonnes of chalk dust into the air, he would tell us to wear masks to prevent us from breathing chalk dust. Pure genius.
Surface of the Earth: 4*pi*(8000 mi * 5280 ft/mi * 12 in/ft)^2
Surface of the Earth: 3.23 E+18 sq.in.
Average Air Pressure: 14.7 lbs/sq.in
Weight of Atmosphere: 4.7 E+19 lbs of Air
Tonne: 2204.6 lbs
Weight of Atmosphere in Tonnes: 2.7 E+16 Tonnes of Air
That’s 27 Million Billion Tonnes of Air
How much chalk dust ya gonna need there, Mr. Bill?
Fuckin Idiot. Sorry – Frickin Idiot.
