There are many people who insist that solar radiation management via injection of stratospheric aerosols is already in progress globally. The so called 'chemtrail conspiracy theorists'. 'Just look up,' they say, 'we're being sprayed like bugs'. I have to admit that this is one conspiracy too far for me. I consider it rather more likely that the aircraft involved are almost always commercial airlines and that the trails produced are predominantly frozen H20 (water crystals). Also that these 'contrails' are more likely to result in net warming rather than cooling. Now we're being scared by the prospect of the UN and others giving the go-ahead for actual stratospheric injection of aerosols. It's a complex subject and a very emotive one and you can end up treading on a lot of toes trying to make sense of it all. So I just might do that in a forthcoming post!

Um, how many billions (trillions) did we just spend Globally to clean sulphur dioxide out of everything from domestic open fires to gigawatt power stations to stop the acid rain - and now these nutters want to start pumping it back in again?
