Any attempts to engineer the climate are likely to result in "different" climate change, rather than its elimination, new results suggest. Prof Ken Caldeira, of Stanford University, presented research at a major conference on the climate risks and impacts of geoengineering. These techniques have been hailed by some as a quick fix for climate change.
But the impacts of geoengineering on oceans, the water cycle and land environments are hotly debated. They have been discussed at a meeting this week of 12,000 scientists in Vienna. Researchers are familiar with the global cooling effects of volcanic eruptions, seen both historically and even back into the deep past of the rock record. With this in mind, some here at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly ( http://www.egu2015.eu ) have been discussing the possible worldwide consequences of pumping sulphate aerosols into the stratosphere to attempt to reflect sunlight back into space and cool the planet.

Well, that just crimps it! More modding that tries to censor perfectly good crazy conspiracy theories! When are you going to wake up, sheeple! ACs can even mod down posts by actual users! I ask you, is this fair? Where else in history have we seen this kind of mind-control? Could it be, SATAN? Climate Change could just be a natural process of inter-sessional glacial government! What if we live, in world, where non sequiturs do not follow?? Go ahead. Mod me up. Make my day, all youse SJWs!!!
