Actually developing it they wanted to fly Jets over the into the stratosphere and release chemical trails that would create a barrier between the Earth and the Sun and imitate or mimic the effect of an of a volcanic explosion you remember that folks a company now is gonna do not that
But something very similar a company is going to be releasing sulfur into the air in order to make sure the sun isn’t isn’t as hot or something epic times has this geoengineering startup begins releasing sulfur particles into the atmosphere in an attempt to stop climate change here we go
And remember they call it solar geoengineering that’s that’s the technical term for the solar Geo engineering says this a startup is launching weather balloons capable of releasing reflective sulfur particles into the Earth’s atmosphere with the stated aim of combating climate change through solar geoengineering while disregarding the negative consequences of such actions
Now it says in solar geoengineering attempts are made to manipulate the climate by reflecting more sunlight away from Earth theoretically releasing sulfur and other such compounds is believed to potentially cool down the planet it’s probably also going to remove the greenhouse gas effect and probably kill the plants while they’re
At it like as you know we’ve seen happen with for example massive volcanic eruptions which we can look at historically and know exactly the incredible damage and plague that they caused theoretically releasing sulfur and other such compounds is believed to potentially cool down the planet back in
1991 for example when Mount Pinatubo and the Philippines erupted it released large amounts of sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere that spread around the world and triggered a one degree Fahrenheit cooling wow over the next 15 months the california-based startup makes sunsets is believe yeah just eliminate the sun is believed to have
Launched the weather balloons from Mexico in an interview with MIT technology review make sunsets CEO Luke Eisman said that he suspects he expects to be characterized as a bond villain for what the company is doing probably I don’t think Bond villains are that dumb though just my belief right
But he insists that climate change is a threat and since the world is moving slowly to address the problem a more radical solution is needed he said quote it’s morally wrong in my opinion for us to not be doing this what’s important he said is to quote do
This as quickly and safely as we can it says make sunsets is attempting to make Revenue out of its effort seeking to sell 10 cooling credits for releasing a gram of particles into the atmosphere the startup raised 750 000 in funding it plans on raising the sulfur payload in
The future as well as using Telemetry devices and other sensors now one important thing with this this is not this is just based on what I understand from researching The Last Story in solar geoengineering it this will not be as permanent as what Bill Gates was looking to do remember
That Bill Gates wanted to release particles into the stratosphere um the the reasoning for releasing the stratosphere rather than the atmosphere right is that if you release them at lower altitudes it doesn’t actually stick it doesn’t have a lasting effect you know it doesn’t doesn’t last that long
Whereas if you’re doing the stratosphere looking like several years and so on uh what they’re doing in my opinion is just frankly political or environmental Showmanship and they’re trying to basically make noise around the idea of solar Geo engineering probably trying to raise awareness of it or just trying to
Make money off it but regardless of that remember we talked about previously that one of the arguments with solar geoengineering right now is that they need regulation they need to regulate it because because of frankly people like this who can just put some balloons up
In the air and try to like block out the sun haphazardly based on people donating ten dollars for cooling credits for a gram of particles right okay let me get a gram of uh of sulfur you can spurt into the atmosphere you know ten dollars right that’s the way they’re doing it
The concern I have with things like this is that individuals doing it haphazardly like this just doing it based on whatever money they can raise they’re not going to have a lasting impact maybe in the local area maybe we’ll see what happens to the crops or whatever in the local area but aside
From that they’re not going to have elastias I’d say human rights abuse against Mexicans because if they’re doing this from Mexico but it’s not going to have a lasting impact the impact of this is they’re going to raise awareness of it and you’re going to have organizations looking at this
Based on public you know public anger or whatever or if they do cause damage and there’s going to be International organizations say hey we can’t let that happen again or hey maybe this is a good idea let’s figure out how we can implement it on a broader scale it’s
Going to be one of those two and they’re going to say we need a governing body to oversee this the problem we have with governing bodies is as soon as you create a governing body they then become part of the administrative State at least in the United States
And once they become part of the administrative State you create an agency or whatever else they can be then they can then begin creating different policies or different different rules essentially rules that can bypass Congress they don’t have to go to the legislative process and this you know rules they create
These policies they create can then basically become laws outside of normal laws you know the they call the administrative state my concern as well you might have seen that the by Administration has rolled out a new registry for private Farms if you are private Gardens not even Farms
So if you have like your your window Farm if you’re growing tomatoes in your backyard the Biden Administration wants you to register it the problem we have with that in my opinion is not so much that you’re planning on doing anything nefarious in the short term with it the problem with
That is if you have a government branch that’s running that type of registry that’s overseeing the type of registry through the administrative state where agencies can basically create any laws they want and bypass a legislative process they become essentially many government agencies that can make rules
That do impact the laws at least in terms of what they can charge you with the to dictate these types of things I know Upstate New York ironically while they’re calling chickens at some of the major producers and is the cost of eggs is what 50 cents an egg now in some
Areas in the U.S right they’re actually Banning chickens in Upstate New York uh they’re doing things like this already and again that’s part of the administrative State it’s not coming down from the top it’s coming down from these little agencies that can dictate Things based on policy or based on just Administration right
