The hottest Geoengineering Substack posts right now

We have the technology and creativity to improve our planet, not just Mars. Projects like reforesting deserts are proof that we can restore ecosystems and make uninhabitable areas livable.
Innovations in geoengineering allow us to control weather and climate. This means we can potentially cool down our planet, make it rain where needed, and reduce the effects of climate change.
By shifting away from livestock farming and using plant-based alternatives, we can free up land for other uses. This could allow us to create new forests, cities, and renewable energy sources.

Geoengineering is a real science aimed at fighting climate change. It includes methods like cloud seeding and solar reflection, but it needs full public transparency since it could affect everyone.
There’s a long history of weather manipulation efforts, like Project Cirrus and Project Stormfury. Many of these projects had mixed results, leading to both discoveries and unexpected consequences.
Public engagement is key for geoengineering to be used responsibly. People need to stay informed and participate in discussions about these technologies to ensure decisions are made ethically and transparently.

Bill introduced in New Hampshire to prevent deliberate geoengineering activities like cloud seeding and stratospheric aerosol injection.
Weather modification history includes declassified projects like 'Project Popeye' during the Vietnam War.
There have been a large number of weather modification-related patents issued since the ban on military use in 1978.

Floating ice islands could be a practical solution for creating new land, much cheaper than colonizing other planets. We already have icebergs that can be transformed into usable land without the high costs of space travel.
The process to insulate these icebergs from melting is affordable and could really help maintain their size for a long time. Using air and lightweight materials, we can keep the ice from melting when in warm waters.
Setting up a community or business on these ice islands might be more viable than starting a space colony. It’s a way to explore new opportunities without the severe risks and costs associated with space exploration.

Scientists have tried to control hurricanes before, but it didn't work out because we didn't understand how hurricanes really behave.
There are new ideas being tested to weaken storms, like cooling ocean waters and using cloud seeding, but these methods are still in development.
People are often skeptical about geoengineering methods because of past failures and concerns for safety, so open discussions are important to build trust.

Solar geoengineering can offset temperature rise relatively inexpensively.
Geoengineering could help delay and mitigate damages of climate change.
Arguments against geoengineering include concerns about unintended effects and moral hazard.

Agribusinesses are adapting to a new era of 'strategic capitalism', with a focus on geopolitical maneuvers.
Countries like India and China are enhancing food security through measures like launching procurement portals and diversifying import sources for pulses.
China's geopolitical hunger games involve tactics like weather modification, river water obstruction, and artificial islands to gain a strategic advantage.

When it comes to climate policy, some people view costs as benefits, creating different perspectives on energy use and global warming solutions.
Alternatives like nuclear power, natural gas, and geoengineering can help reduce global warming without reducing energy use, but not all advocates support these options.
Using a crisis like global warming as an excuse for political agendas or personal beliefs is a common pattern across different contexts and political ideologies.

Recent discussions in Norway are reevaluating the country's historical defense decisions, suggesting a blame on pacifist and socialist politicians for leaving the country defenseless in 1940.
Geoengineering, the modification of weather through chemical spraying, is gaining attention globally as big business, with financiers including Bill Gates and George Soros investing in research projects to block the sun by 2050.
There is a growing concern over the rewriting of history in Norway, with some suggesting a revisitation of events from World War II, attributing the country's actions and defenses to false threats, setting a dangerous precedent.

Witnessing strange events should prompt us to question and seek independent verification of the official narrative.
The potential for intentional harm through methods like geoengineering, directed energy weapons, and crisis theater should not be dismissed.
The lack of critical thinking and questioning in the face of danger poses a significant threat to our awareness and ability to protect ourselves.
