Remember when geoengineering was labeled a “conspiracy theory?” … Now it’s routinely cited in science papers as a strategy for saving the climate
In this study, scientists from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany discuss – as if it’s no big deal – the concept of atmospheric energy technologies that have the capacity to pull carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and sequester it in the ground. Known as bioenergy combined with carbon capture and storage, or BECCS, the idea is to burn trees and other organic matter in order to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which supposedly leads to a net removal of “damaging” greenhouse gases.
Though the paper doesn’t specifically discuss airplanes lacing the skies with a tapestry of aluminum, barium, and other particulates supposedly designed to block out the sun’s “damaging” rays, it does deal with the issue of intentionally altering climate conditions in order to counter or reverse what some perceive as the damaging effects of global warming – which is, in essence, the foundational concept and alleged purpose behind geoengineering.
