Bill Gates Funds Geoengineering Company That Will Make Clouds Out of Sea Water
May 12th, 2010Via: Mother Nature Network:
Basically a fleet of ships equipped with screens & vacuums pump up millions of gallons of ocean water and using high-powered water canons introduce the water some 3000 feet in the air, where clouds are formed. The added moisture content would increase the thickness of the water vapor, making the clouds whiter and thus more reflective.
Of course this, as all other geoengineering solutions, are not without environmental impacts. No one really knows exactly what happens when humans alter the atmosphere in such a way. A global coalition of environmentalists called HOME (Hands Off Mother Earth) is calling for a moratorium on geoengineering experiments until the international laws on geoengineering being discussed this week in a UN scientific meeting in Nairobi are clarified.
Should we ask Bill Gates if he will fund the technology to suck the oil out the Gulf of Mexico from the hemmoraghing spill?
Should it then be sprayed over the houses of BP, Halliburton, etc. executive to disperse the pollution.
Nasty, I know. Just a thought.
I would have to agree with the HOME peoples. No one should be allowed to drill, or experiment, or whatever their flight of fancy might be unless they have and arm tied behind their back with regulations.
But thats just me.
