Opinion by Gernot Wagner: Geoengineering research flights are a good federal investment

It is the opposite to prematurely deploying the technology. That’s what happened in April 2022 when an enterprising and deliberately provocative entrepreneur launched at least two balloons in the Mexican state of Baja California that may have released reflective sulfur particles in the stratosphere, a fact onlylate last year. Its founder told James Temple of MIT Technology Review: “We joke slash not joke that this is partly a company and partly a cult.

Raising around $750,000 in venture capital to sell “cooling credits” for these balloon flights, as his start-up has done, was a horrible idea. I say that as someone who posited such a scheme as “technically possible” and “economically feasible” in with geoengineering governance scholar Jesse Reynolds. We argued that it would be only a matter of time before someone somewhere would attempt it.all such solar geoengineering attempts. Sadly, that won’t stop this entrepreneur or others elsewhere from attempting similar stunts. Equally sadly, it may well deter legitimate, much-needed research. That’s particularly true in a country and world on edge about spy balloons.

How about not? Seriously wp ignore the problem for bailout science so we can keep on keeping on. Or we could look at what happens post eruption like krakatoa when massive amounts of particles hit the atmosphere… it definitely wasn’t good for a lot of people.

The federal government isn't there to fill the fundraising for every climate you want to undertake................wanna fund research balloons, find private investors..................

Dieses Kind ist SaraShirazi Sie wurde von einer Unterstützerin des Mullahs Regimes körperlich angegriffen,weil sie den Hijab nicht richtig trug. Das Regime im Iran hat ihre Familie gedroht, dass ihre Tochter das Schicksal von MahsaAmini erleiden wird, wenn sie protestieren
