    Bill Gates to dim the sun
    The plan sounds like science fiction — but could be fact within a decade; every day more than 800 giant aircraft would lift millions of tonnes of chalk dust to a height of 12 miles above the Earth's surface and then sprinkle the lot high around the stratosphere.

    In theory, the airborne dust would create a sunshade, reflecting the Sun's rays and heat back into space, dimming those that get through and so protecting Earth from climate warming.


    This is not the crackpot plan of a garden-shed inventor. The project is being funded by billionaire and Microsoft founder Bill Gates and pioneered by scientists at Harvard University.



    Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment (SCoPEx) is currently being delayed over fears that it could backfire and cause ill-effects such as hurricanes and droughts, as man attempts to interfere with mother nature.

    If earth cools we lose growing regions and food prices soar. Then libs will blame conservatives and seek a tax to increase global warming and undo this crackpot idea under the guise of worldwide hunger

      If these kooks were allowed to do this, we would finally have man-made climate change.

        They better not get behind. Remember some of these nut jobs said we only have 12 years left.
