Ian Bradford: Just How Many “Stop Climate Change” Experiments Are There?

Most “Stop Climate Change” experiments have unwanted consequences

There is no evidence that the sun has become particularly strong, increasing the amount of solar radiation reaching Earth since the Industrial Revolution beginning some 200 years ago. Yet around the world, the so called experts are about to begin a program of global dimming. At this stage, the trials are apparently experimental, not full scale geo-engineering yet, but rather aimed at gathering data and working out strategies. A key object is to cool the British Isles which are apparently overheating.

Ian Bradford: Changing the Weather

Changing the Weather: Making it rain or making a drought. It’s been going on for ages, and so has  geoengineering,  a term for Carbon Dioxide removal and solar radiation management.        

Making clouds produce rain is called cloud seeding. Silver Iodide has commonly been used for cloud seeding. Most rainfall begins with the growth of ice crystals from super-cooled ice droplets in the upper parts of clouds. The Silver Iodide particles are meant to encourage the growth of new ice particles. The ice particles so formed eventually become too heavy and begin to fall turning to water as they do so and produce rain.
