With the “energy transition” from fossil fuels to renewables foundering up against the immutable laws of physics and thermodynamics, governments in the Western world are now studying schemes to block out solar radiation as a means of ‘saving’ the planet. I swear I’m not making this up — who could possibly do that?
First up last week was the European Commission (EC), led by increasingly authoritarian President Ursula Von Der Leyen. In what one publication called “a significant shift in the global approach to climate change,” the EC announced on June 27 a plan to “support international efforts to assess comprehensively the risks and uncertainties of climate interventions, including solar radiation modification,” as reported by Fox News.
The EC framework includes a series of what it calls “climate interventions” by human beings who can’t even predict the weather a few days in advance, including options such as stratospheric aerosol injection designed to raise the concentration of airborne particles to block out a portion of sunlight that would be able to reach the surface of the Earth. In other words, SPF 50 “chemtrails” coming soon to the skies in your area, or something similar, brought to you by “experts” and “science.” (RELATED: THOMAS PYLE: Biden Bends The Knee To Radical Climate Activists Yet Again)
Critics of the approach warn of unintended consequences of such schemes, like running the risk of changing rain patterns, creating droughts, and a laundry list of other potentially disastrous and deadly outcomes.
