Researchers quietly planned a test to dim sunlight. They wanted to ‘avoid scaring’ the public.

1. This is marine cloud brightening, making existing clouds over the ocean more reflective by spraying an atomized mist of salt water in the air. It’s not dimming the sun.

   Better we understand these technologies, how effective they are and what, if any side effects they have. Because having panicked nations use them out of desperation is not the way to find out

2. Instead of addressing it let’s just….throw some salt at it

3. People want to get much more worked up over this than they do over absolutely nothing being done to reduce global warming due to fossil fuels. Makes you wonder what money is doing in this fight.

4. Bro just stop drilling

5. I wonder if the reflected sunlight is more prevented global warming than the total environmental cost to do the flights?

6. What’s to stop individual countries from trying their own versions of atmospheric alterations. Climate change doesn’t end at borders but jurisdictions do.

7. *stares in indigenous

8. Normally I would say this is something that should be approved at the federal level or maybe even by the UN. But given this current administration, I won’t suggest that.

9. Is this not similar to how Snowpiercer started??
