Mother Jones reports:
The Central Intelligence Agency is funding a scientific study that will investigate whether humans could use geoengineering to alter Earth’s environment and stop climate change. The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) will run the 21-month project, which is the first NAS geoengineering study financially supported by an intelligence agency. With the spooks’ money, scientists will study how humans might influence weather patterns, assess the potential dangers of messing with the climate, and investigate possible national security implications of geoengineering attempts.
Remembering Michael Crichton right now.
“Scientists will study how humans might influence weather patterns, assess the potential dangers of messing with the climate, and investigate possible national security implications of geoengineering attempts.”
Billions will die.
As I understand it, the solution to climate control is already at hand. Leading researchers and politicians declare they can stop the climate from changing. So, why is the CIA wasting money to study climate control unless controlling the climate involves how much money you take and spend.
