Some time back I posted a heads-up regarding climate modification and got a lot of blowback.

I said it has been going on both openly and clandestinely for decades but is getting more sophisticated and it is just a matter of time until this subject hits the mainstream and people are allowed to think about it.  And here it is.

The article is paywalled, but opens nicely in an inPrivate window.

"https://www.westernstandard.news/news/climate-engineering-environment-canada-wants-to-save-the-climate-by-blocking-the-sun/52620"

Here is an excerpt.

> The government’s objective is to “understand the potential for climate engineering and determine the implications of technologies that aim to deliberately alter the climate system, typically to counteract climate warming (e.g., solar radiation modification, marine geoengineering, carbon dioxide removal techniques),” and plans to “conduct scientific assessments of climate-altering technologies and impacts on Canada.”

> According to the UN Environment Programme, solar radiation modification is a “technology designed to cool the planet.”

> Its chief method is stratospheric aerosol injection, which “involves injecting aerosols into the stratosphere, so a small amount of sunlight is deliberately reflected into space to cool the planet.”

> Further methods involve cloud seeding, which is a weather modification technique that “improves a cloud’s ability to produce rain or snow by introducing tiny ice nuclei into certain types of subfreezing clouds,” according to Desert Research Institute, and marine cloud brightening, which is the “seeding of low marine clouds” to “enhance their albedo (the fraction of sunlight that is diffusely reflected by a body), thus reflecting more solar radiation back to space,” according to Science Direct.

> Critics warn interventions such as stratospheric aerosol injections could lead to unexpected consequences, such as making climate change worse, damaging the ozone layer, and causing health problems for people.
