‘Geo-Engineer To Fight Climate Change’: NYTimes

National Pulse– Governments must invest in “geoengineering” – deliberate schemes to toy with Earth’s climate – according to an essay in the New York Times. A rise in greenhouse-gas emissions, despite America’s cutting down of its coal use, means a narrow focus on reducing emissions is destined to fail, claim the three authors of the essay: a former director at MIT, a retired NASA scientist and an oceanographer.

The authors advocate seeding the oceans with iron dust to encourage the growth of enormous algal blooms, which would convert large amounts of carbon dioxide to organic forms of carbon that would then be sequestered in the watery depths. They also suggest iron dust has dramatic potential to alter the earth’s climate, and may have played an important natural role in doing so in the past. more

  1. After 50 years of failed predictions and warnings from climate alarmists, do we really think the prudent thing to do now is to unleash large scale deployments of mechanisms we cannot control in order to solve a crisis that does not exist?

  2. I don’t believe any of these climate morons until some of Al Gore’s predictions come true. The statue of liberty was supposed to be under water with melting ice back in 1989 the same year that drought will cause the Great Lakes to dry up.
    The latest climate change in actuality is called Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall.

  4. I recommend taking all these “climate scientists” and politicians and dropping them into the oceans. Through a fish gut grinder preferred.

    BTW the iron oxide proposal has been given new life as it was one of the proposals to “fix the ozone hole”. Which was itself largely a myth created until they figured out volcanic gasses and dust acrewed uo their LIDAR measuring device readouts.

  5. Look, how bout we go commie like you envirofuckwads want, then you shut yer pie holes about climate and leave us alone like you ought to be doing already. Environmentalists are watermelons, green on the outside and red on the inside… in other words commies with a cloak of green to hide their execrable selves.

  6. Recipe for so called geo-engineers:

    (1) One quart low temperature (105F) thermoplastic
    (2) One cup coarsely crushed quartz rocks

    Heat the thermoplastic in a bucket to manufacturer’s recommended temperature.
    Add quartz and mix thoroughly while still hot.
    Before mixture cools, load mixture into an injector pump.
    Stick the pump nozzle up your rectum as far as it will go.
    Turn the pump on. Be sure to power-cycle it frequently when empty.

    Have a seat while it sets. You’re not going anywhere.

  7. This is why I love history, because we can always go into our past and see what historians wrote about climate over millions of years. 536 AD was one such time and others followed. There were no cars, factories, polluting the earth. Natural disasters hit earth from time-to-time. Right now earth is getting plastered by plasma from sunspots – X flare class. Might knock out satellites, communications, power grid.

    The sun dimmed, and the dimness lasted for more than a year. There were frosts and snows in the middle of summer – the winter never really ended. From Italy to Ireland, China to Central America, the year 536 was the beginning of a decade-long cold snap beset by turmoil.

  8. Oh, no lets hope/pray they don’t work in the same sloppy way as the bio-weapon Covid designers and something bad gets out into the earths climate that starts traveling around the earth. Will US taxpayers be funding it as well???

  9. I’m 70 and the ecoweenies have been 100% wrong every time about globull warming and so-called climate change since the first erf day in 1970. Their track record at predicting global ecological disaster is as bad or worse as all the left behind wacko’s predicting the rapture. Today is the first day of Autumn, Summer’s over and it’s 58 degrees and cloudy outside today which is perfect after being so damn hot in August. Nothing new, it’s the changing of the seasons and not globull warming or globull cooling or globalbaloney. Winter will be here soon enough just like it is every year.

  10. Ghost,
    It the EcoNazis are that serious about reducing CO2 (which is NOT a pollutant, but is plant food), then they need to commit sewercide.
