What everyone seems to overlook is the fact that anything in the atmosphere that block outgoing heat blocks even more incoming heat from the sun during the day. So by day, the so-called greenhouse gases have a cooling effect and at nights, reduce the cooling of the Earth, so reducing the extremes but having no overall warming effect.

Upper tropospheric cirrus (natural and artificial) cause net warming at the surface because they block more outgoing long wave radiation than they reflect incoming short wave solar radiation.

Interesting stuff. Are they actually admitting that CO2 is not the Earth’s sole temperature control dial? As far as I know most of the climate models ignore the impact of clouds altogether as they are too complex to model.

Oh dear, as if we don't have enough scary stuff already. Good article, though.

There's no harm in doing small-scale experiments as your article suggests. However these things tend to be run by bureaucrats with an eye on commercialisation or with delusions of grandeur.

There are several major pitfalls (similar to what we're seeing in the Covid VAXX debacle). In that case the negative effects of a novel technology applied to a poorly understood situation have been unpredicted, concealed, dismissed or brushed under the carpet.

Funding will be granted on 'success' - experiment A is found to reduce the water vapour better than experiment B, so A gets more support. The fact that A causes a runaway cooling effect is unpredicted, concealed, dismissed or brushed under the carpet.

But as usual it's all about trumpeting success.

🦋🌺Please sign & share our Open Letter and/or get in touch through the website if you want to help us get these crimes stopped. We do not consent to dangerous, polluting solar radiation management experiments in our atmosphere. We're seeing small but significant changes for the better in responses from some MPs, but it's slow work and there aren't many of us who are actively engaged. Help us to keep growing our campaign. Thanks!🌺🦋 https://britonsforacleanatmosphere.uk/open-letter-we-do-not-consent-to-srm-experimentation/

I think you were right the first time, Jaime!

All a matter of proportion, basically.

Mike Adams has analyzed particles from aerial spraying and it looks more like "cooling the planet" is cover for the gov't simply spraying toxins to make us sick and eventually kill us. It's only a wild conspiracy theory if you believe that the covid jabs WERE NOT a bioweapon which was also a method of culling the herd.
