He's saying that our burning of fossil fuels is an uncontrolled experiment in geoengineering. Read the link that I and Bury Red provided.
Err, that is him saying that you misinterpreted his words in the first place. It's not the type of geoengineering you're talking about. It's about fossil fuel usage and the effects that has.
Okay. It seems he really is talking about burning fossil fuels. Thanks for sharing that link. To be honest I am struggling to find any study that hasn't come from a computer model, which suggests that currently there are no large scale experiments involving the release of aerosols into the ionosphere, at least not with any civilian institution.
One thing though, if we are to consider burning fossil fuels as part of a geoengineering experiment then we are to include the aviation industry as part of that experiment, are we not? In which case, the chemtrail theory isn't so "wack."
Regardless of Tim Lenton, I think we are all in agreement that there most definitely exists technology to deliberately manipulate the planetary environment by stratospheric aerosol injection, or some other means, to counteract anthropogenic climate change. We see a large body of scientists and institutions beginning to openly support geoengineering programs as a way of reducing the effects of climate change. It has reached a level where it will be discussed on the political level before becoming legislation. And as we know, it won't be long before governments openly approve and begin conducting solar radiation management programs, like stratospheric aerosol injection.
So, if we are at a stage where we can implement this technology, we have already passed the stage where we are experimenting with this technology. Or did I get that backwards?
In 2009, I think, SPICE had already begun testing the equipment for stratospheric aerosol injection. Admittedly they were releasing water simply to test the delivery method. But they were testing nonetheless. A program as large-scale as manipulating the planet's environment to reflect solar radiation back into space by spraying aerosol's into the atmosphere isn't something you can implement by simply running a computer model. Surely we have been testing this method for some time already to ensure it works before putting it up for political debate?
Climate change, Tim Lenton, stratospheric aerosol injection aside, we still have the point of the military and defence departments / ministries of government who often operate beyond the public eye and above scrutiny in coalition with private companies / contractors. We know that the military have looked extensively at weather and climate modification, particularly with regard to the charging of the ionosphere to dominate global communications. This opens us to an entirely new avenue of investigation. And of course some terrific conspiracies
